[0036] Example
[0037] Referring to the accompanying drawings, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a battery transport device, which includes: a first transport mechanism, which is arranged between two transport brackets 12 of a battery production line that are spaced apart in a first direction x, the transport direction of the transport bracket 12 is a second direction y, the first transport mechanism includes a liftable first transport portion 1, which is used to transport a fixed tray 8 on which a battery assembly 9 that is determined to be unqualified is placed along the first direction x, and at least one of the multiple battery cells of the battery assembly 9 is an unqualified faulty battery 10; a second transport mechanism, which is arranged on the side of the battery production line and is located corresponding to the first transport mechanism, and the second transport mechanism includes a second transport portion 21, which is used to transport along the first direction x. A fixed pallet 8 is delivered; a replacement platform 31 is arranged at the output end of the second conveying part 21, and is used to support the fixed pallet 8. The replacement platform 31 is provided with a first platform 5 on the side opposite to the second conveying part 21 in the first direction x; and a grasping mechanism is arranged on the upper side of the replacement platform 31, and the grasping mechanism comprises: a driving track 41 extending along the first direction x, and is used to install and drive a liftable electric clamp 42 to reciprocate along the first direction x, and the grasping mechanism is used to control the electric clamp 42 to grasp the faulty battery 10 in the battery assembly 9 and place it on the first platform 5 based on the fault signal of the battery production line; wherein the first direction x and the second direction y are perpendicular to each other, and are respectively perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
[0038] Specifically, the battery transfer device provided in this embodiment is used to cooperate with the battery production line to remove the unqualified faulty batteries 10 in the battery assembly 9 determined as unqualified by the battery production line for subsequent replacement, thereby avoiding the battery cells in good condition in the battery assembly 9 determined as unqualified from being wasted; during the operation of the battery production line, the battery assembly 9 is assembled onto the fixed tray 8, and the battery production line transports the fixed tray 8 with the battery assembly 9 placed thereon along the second direction y to the feed port through two conveying brackets 12 arranged at intervals in the first direction x; wherein the first direction x and the second direction y are perpendicular to each other and are respectively perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
[0039] The battery transport device provided in this embodiment mainly includes: a first transport mechanism, a second transport mechanism, a replacement platform 31 and a grabbing mechanism that cooperate with each other.
[0040] The first transfer mechanism is located between two conveying brackets 12 of the battery production line, and the first transfer mechanism includes a liftable first conveying section 1, and the first conveying section 1 is used to convey the fixed pallet 8 on which the battery components 9 determined to be unqualified are placed along the first direction x; when the battery production line does not detect unqualified battery components 9, the height of the first conveying section 1 is lower than the height of the conveying bracket 12, and does not affect the conveying of the fixed pallet 8 by the conveying bracket 12. When the battery production line detects unqualified battery components 9, and the battery components 9 are conveyed to the position corresponding to the first transfer mechanism by the conveying bracket 12, the height of the first transfer mechanism rises, so that the fixed pallet 8 on which the battery components 9 determined to be unqualified are placed can be transferred to the first conveying section 1, and the fixed pallet 8 can be transferred along the first direction x by the first conveying section 1; wherein, along the first direction x refers to the positive direction along the first direction x, that is, the direction from the first transfer mechanism to the replacement platform 31.
[0041] The second transfer mechanism is arranged on the side of the battery production line, and its position in the second direction y corresponds to the first transfer mechanism. The second transfer mechanism includes a second conveying part 21, which is used to convey the fixed pallet 8 along the first direction x. The height of the second conveying part 21 can be set to be slightly higher than the height of the conveying bracket 12, and equal to the height after the height of the first conveying part 1 is raised. Therefore, the second conveying part 21 can receive the fixed pallet 8 transferred by the first conveying part 1 and continue to convey it along the first direction x until the fixed pallet 8 is conveyed to the replacement platform 31 located at the output end of the second conveying part 21. The height of the replacement platform 31 is adapted to the height of the second conveying part 21, and a first platform 5 is also provided on the side of the replacement platform 31 away from the second conveying part 21.
[0042] The gripping mechanism is located on the upper side of the replacement platform 31, and the mechanism specifically includes a driving rail 41 and an electric gripper 42. The electric gripper 42 is installed on the driving rail 41, and the electric gripper 42 can be driven by the driving rail 41 to reciprocate along the first direction x. The matching mode of the driving rail 41 and the electric gripper 42 is not limited to electric drive or a screw-connected motor and a driving mode in conjunction with a slider or other linear motion driving modes; the electric gripper 42 has a lifting function, which can be achieved by electric telescopic or hydraulic telescopic or pneumatic telescopic mechanisms. The electric gripper 42 has the functions of opening and clamping, and the gripping mechanism can obtain electric The fault signal of the battery production line is used to determine the position of the unqualified faulty battery 10 in the battery assembly 9, so that the electric gripper 42 grabs the faulty battery 10 and places it on the first platform 5, so that the faulty battery 10 in the battery assembly 9 can be removed. Subsequent staff can replenish qualified battery cells into the battery assembly 9 to make the entire battery assembly 9 in a good state and return it to the battery production line. Of course, this process can also be achieved by a transfer device, which will be described in detail below; wherein, a frame structure can be set at the position corresponding to the replacement platform 31 and the grabbing mechanism for stable installation of the drive rail 41.
[0043] It should be noted that if the multiple battery cells of the battery assembly 9 are all unqualified faulty batteries 10, no grabbing action is performed, and the staff can directly transfer the battery assembly 9 for recycling.
[0044] According to the above, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a battery transfer device, which can transfer the fixed tray 8 of the battery assembly 9 judged as unqualified from the battery production line to the replacement platform 31 through the cooperation of the first transfer mechanism and the second transfer mechanism, and the grabbing mechanism can control the electric clamp 42 to grab the faulty battery 10 in the battery assembly 9 based on the fault signal of the battery production line and place it on the first platform 5 for recycling, so that the faulty battery 10 in the battery assembly 9 can be removed, and then subsequently replenished and returned to the battery production line, which can avoid the battery cells in good condition in the battery assembly 9 that are judged as unqualified from being wasted, and can ensure that the battery packs at the production site meet strict quality standards, save production and improve production efficiency.
[0045] Furthermore, in a specific implementation, the battery transfer device provided in this embodiment may also include: a controller, which internally stores instructions for executing logical operations, sequential control and other operations, and is connected to the battery production line and the signals of various motion mechanisms of the battery transfer device. The motion mechanisms here include a grasping mechanism, various transfer mechanisms, various conveying parts and a lifting mechanism 32, etc. The controller can receive a fault signal from the battery production line, and control the operation of each motion mechanism and the action of the grasping mechanism based on the fault signal, so as to control the various mechanisms to cooperate in completing the removal of the faulty battery 10 in the battery assembly 9 and the replacement of the replaceable battery 11, etc.
[0046] For further information, see Attachment Figure 1 In a specific implementation, the replacement platform 31 is provided with a first platform 5 and a second platform 6 in sequence on the side opposite to the second conveying part 21 in the first direction x. The second platform 6 is used to place qualified replaceable batteries 11. After the grasping mechanism grasps the faulty battery 10, it is also used to control the electric gripper 42 to grasp the replaceable battery 11 and replenish it to the battery assembly 9.
[0047] Specifically, in order to realize automatic replenishment of battery cells in good condition at vacant positions after the faulty battery 10 is removed, in the technical solution adopted by the present invention, a second platform 6 can be set on the side of the first platform 5 away from the replacement platform 31, and the second platform 6 is equal to the height of the first platform 5. A qualified replaceable battery 11 in good condition is pre-placed on the second platform 6, and the driving track 41 extends to the top of the second platform 6; after the faulty battery 10 is placed on the first platform 5 through the gripping mechanism hole to the electric clamp 42, it is also used to control the electric clamp 42 to grab a replaceable battery 11 on the second platform 6, and replenish the replaceable battery 11 to the vacant position of the battery assembly 9, thereby improving the quality of the entire battery assembly 9.
[0048] Among them, in order to avoid the situation that the replaceable batteries 11 on the second platform 6 are grabbed but not replenished in time, affecting the progress of replacement of the battery assembly 9, a second sensor can be arranged on the second platform 6, and the second sensor is connected to the controller signal. The controller can at least determine whether there are replaceable batteries 11 placed on the second platform 6 through the signal measured by the second sensor. The type of the second sensor can be an infrared sensor, or it can also be a weighing sensor. When the type of the second sensor is a weighing sensor, the controller can also determine the number of replaceable batteries 11 on the second platform 6, and an alarm unit can be configured to remind the staff to replenish them in time when the replaceable batteries 11 are missing or the number of replaceable batteries 11 is insufficient.
[0049] For further information, see Attachment Figure 1 In a specific implementation, a lifting mechanism 32 is provided at the bottom of the replacement platform 31 for driving the replacement platform 31 to rise or fall; the second transfer mechanism includes a third conveying portion 22, which is located at the bottom of the second conveying portion 21 and is used to convey the fixed pallet 8 in the reverse direction of the first direction x; a third transfer mechanism is provided between the first transfer mechanism and the second transfer mechanism, and the third transfer mechanism includes a liftable fourth conveying portion 7 for conveying the fixed pallet 8 in the first direction x or in the reverse direction of the first direction x.
[0050] Specifically, in order to achieve the automatic transfer of the entire battery assembly 9 back to the battery production line after the faulty battery 10 in the battery assembly 9 is removed and the replaceable battery 11 is supplemented, in the technical solution adopted by the present invention, a lifting mechanism 32 is arranged at the bottom of the replacement platform 31, and the lifting mechanism 32 here can be an electric telescopic mechanism, a hydraulic telescopic mechanism, etc., which is not specifically limited here. The lifting mechanism 32 can drive the replacement platform 31 to rise or fall; the second transfer mechanism also includes a third conveying part 22 located at the bottom of the second conveying part 21, and the third conveying part 22 is used to transport the fixed pallet 8 in the reverse direction of the first direction x; and a third transfer mechanism is arranged between the first transfer mechanism and the second transfer mechanism, and the third transfer mechanism includes a liftable fourth conveying part 7, and the fourth conveying part 7 is used to transport the fixed pallet 8 in the first direction x or in the reverse direction of the first direction x.
[0051] When the first transfer mechanism transfers the battery assembly 9 that is judged to be unqualified, the fourth conveyor part 7 of the third transfer mechanism rises to the same height as the first conveyor part 1, and the conveying direction at this time is the first direction x, and the battery assembly 9 that is judged to be unqualified is conveyed to the replacement platform 31 by the first conveyor part 1, the fourth conveyor part 7 and the second conveyor part 21 in sequence; after the faulty battery 10 in the battery assembly 9 is removed and the replaceable battery 11 is supplemented, the fourth conveyor part 7 and the replacement platform 31 are respectively lowered to the same height as the third conveyor part 22, and the fourth conveyor part 7 and the replacement platform 31 are respectively lowered to the same height as the third conveyor part 22. The conveying direction of the conveying part 7 is opposite to the first direction x. After the battery assembly 9 is transferred from the third conveying part 22 to the fourth conveying part 7, the fourth conveying part 7 and the first conveying part 1 rise to the same height as the second conveying part 21, so that the battery assembly 9 can be transferred from the fourth conveying part 7 to the first conveying part 1, and the first conveying part 1 descends again to below the conveying support 12, so that the battery assembly 9 can return to the battery production line and continue to be conveyed to the feed port to continue the subsequent production steps; such a design can realize the efficient transfer and replacement of battery assemblies 9 judged as unqualified.
[0052] For further information, see Attachment Figure 1 In a specific implementation, a fifth conveying portion 33 is provided on the replacement platform 31 for conveying the fixed tray 8 along the first direction x or in the reverse direction of the first direction x.
[0053] Specifically, in order to enable the replacement platform 31 to efficiently receive or transfer the fixed pallet 8, in the technical solution adopted by the present invention, a fifth conveying unit 33 can be provided on the replacement platform 31. When the second conveying unit 21 transfers the battery assembly 9 to the replacement platform 31, the conveying direction of the fifth conveying unit 33 is the first direction x. When the faulty battery 10 in the battery assembly 9 is removed and the replaceable battery 11 is supplemented, the conveying direction of the fifth conveying unit 33 is opposite to the first direction x, and the battery assembly 9 is transferred to the fourth conveying unit 7. The fourth conveying unit 7 can be provided above the replacement platform 31, or the replacement platform 31 can be formed by the fourth conveying unit 7.
[0054] Among them, under this setting, in order to prevent the fifth conveying part 33 from over-conveying the fixed tray 8, a limiting member can be set on the replacement platform 31 and on the side away from the second transfer mechanism. The limiting member can be a plate, a rod or a bracket, etc., which is not specifically limited here. The setting of the limiting member can limit the position of the fixed tray 8 on the replacement platform 31, and can ensure the accuracy of the position of the replacement platform 31, so that the electric gripper 42 can accurately grasp the faulty battery 10.
[0055] Specifically, in order to control the action of the grabbing mechanism after the fixed pallet 8 is transferred to the replacement platform 31, a first sensor may be provided on the replacement platform 31. The first sensor is connected to the controller signal. The controller determines whether the fixed pallet 8 reaches the specified position of the replacement platform 31 based on the in-position signal detected by the first sensor. After the fixed pallet 8 reaches the specified position, the controller may control the grabbing mechanism to perform the grabbing action to improve efficiency and reliability. The first sensor may be a photoelectric sensor, but is not limited to this.
[0056] Among them, the first conveying part 1, the second conveying part 21, the third conveying part 22, the fourth conveying part 7 and the fifth conveying part 33 can adopt the same conveying method. For example, each conveying part can respectively include a plurality of conveying rollers arranged at intervals along the first direction x, and the conveying rollers extend along the second direction y. In order to improve the conveying efficiency of the conveying rollers, the outer peripheral surface of the conveying rollers can be at least partially covered with an anti-slip layer. The anti-slip layer can be made of but not limited to rubber material. The provision of the anti-slip layer can increase the friction between the conveying rollers and the fixed tray 8, thereby improving the conveying efficiency; or each conveying part can also adopt a conveyor belt transfer method, which is not specifically limited here.
