Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] like Figure 1-10 As shown, a battery conveying system capable of automatic direction change control comprises a conveying frame 1 and a direction change frame 2, wherein the conveying frame 1 and the direction change frame 2 are fixedly connected;

[0037] It should be noted that the direction-changing frame 2 is located at the rear side of the conveying frame 1 in the battery conveying direction, and a driving structure (not shown in the figure) for driving the battery to move is arranged inside the direction-changing frame 2;

[0038] The conveying frame 1 is internally rotatably connected with a plurality of conveying rollers 3 and a plurality of direction-changing rollers 4;

[0039] It should be noted that the plurality of conveying rollers 3 are divided into two groups and arranged on both sides of the plurality of direction-changing rollers 4. The plurality of conveying rollers 3 and the plurality of direction-changing rollers 4 are arranged in a linear array on the surface of the conveying frame 1, and the direction-changing rollers 4 are located in the middle of the conveying frame 1.

[0040] It should be noted that the conveying roller 3 rotates intermittently;

[0041] A selection mechanism is provided between the conveying frame 1 and the direction-changing roller 4, and the selection mechanism comprises:

[0042] A driving block 51 and a selection block 52, both of which are slidably arranged on the surface of the conveying frame 1, and the distance between the driving block 51 and the selection block 52 is equal to the length of the battery. A selection rod 53 is slidably connected inside the selection block 52, and the surfaces of the driving block 51 and the selection rod 53 are in contact with the surface of the battery, and the cross-section of the selection rod 53 decreases in size toward the battery direction and is arc-shaped toward the battery direction;

[0043] A driving column 54, wherein the driving column 54 is slidably connected to the surface of the conveying frame 1, and a transfer block 55 is rotatably connected to one end of the driving column 54 close to the conveying frame 1, and the transfer block 55 is slidably connected to the surface of the conveying frame 1, and a driving belt 56 is fixedly connected between the driving column 54 and the selection rod 53, and a driving belt 57 is slidably connected to the surface of the driving column 54, and one end of the driving belt 57 is fixedly connected to the surface of the driving block 51, and a transfer belt 58 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the driving belt 56 on the driving column 54;

[0044] It should be noted that the driving belt 56 between the driving column 54 and the selection rod 53 is made of a rigid soft material, that is, when the selection rod 53 moves toward the driving column 54, the driving belt 56 will move toward the driving block 51, and the middle part of the driving belt 56 will not be loose; and a mutually adapted protruding structure (not shown in the figure) is provided between the driving belt 56 and the driving column 54, that is, the movement of the driving belt 56 can drive the driving column 54 to rotate;

[0045] It should be noted that the transfer block 55 has a single hole (not shown) on its surface adapted to the driving belt 57, through which the driving belt 57 passes and is fixed to the surface of the driving column 54, that is, the rotation of the driving column 54 causes the driving belt 57 to be wound around the surface of the driving column 54;

[0046] A driving block 59, wherein the driving block 59 is slidably connected to the inside of the conveying frame 1, and the driving block 59 is slidably connected to one end of the transfer belt 58.

The surfaces of the driving block 51 and the selection rod 53 are in contact with the surface of the battery. When the battery slides to the surface of the direction change roller 4, the driving block 51 is driven to move, and then the position of the driving block 51 reaches the surface of the conveying roller 3 on the other side, indicating that the battery slides to the surface of the conveying roller 3. If the battery does not move to the surface of the conveying roller 3 on this side, the movement of the battery on the rear side will prompt the selection rod 53 to move, and at this time, the driving block 59 is driven to move, and at the driving block 5 When the battery 1 is not in place, the driving assembly will cause the reversing roller 4 to rotate. At this time, the block 59 will be moved, and the reversing roller 4 will rotate in the opposite direction, which will cause the rear battery to move to the surface of the conveying roller 3 and change direction again to drive the front battery to move to the specified position. Then, the rotation direction of the reversing roller 4 can be realized only by a single sensor and the position of the selection rod 53, and the battery that has not reached the position during transportation and the battery that is attached to it can be autonomously separated and the battery that has not reached the position can be caused to slide to the position of the reversing frame 2. Fewer components and data need to be controlled, which is more convenient, and the battery that has not reached the position of the reversing frame 2 can be driven to move to the position of the reversing frame 2 in time to avoid blockage.

One end of the motor output shaft is fixedly connected to a coupling (not shown in the figure), and the coupling (not shown in the figure) is fixedly connected to one end of the driving cone wheel 61;

[0052] The driving block 59 is rotatably connected to two reversing cone wheels 62, and both of the reversing cone wheels 62 can be meshed with the driving cone wheel 61, and the distance between the reversing cone wheels 62 is greater than the diameter of the driving cone wheel 61;

[0053] In a further embodiment, a moving ring 63 is provided on the side of the reversing cone wheel 62 away from the driving cone wheel 61, and a moving shaft 64 is fixedly connected to one end of the driving block 59, and the moving shaft 64 is adapted to the moving ring 63;

[0054] In a further embodiment, an outer rod 71 is fixedly connected to the surface of the reversing cone wheel 62 close to the reversing roller 4, and an inner rod 72 is fixedly connected to the side of the reversing cone wheel 62 facing the reversing roller 4 away from the reversing roller 4, wherein the outer rod 71 has a larger diameter than the inner rod 72, and the inner rod 72 penetrates and extends to the surface of the outer rod 71;

[0055] In a further embodiment, a fastening column 73 is fixedly connected to the surface of the outer rod 71, a fastening gear 74 is fixedly connected to the end of the inner rod 72 close to the direction-changing roller 4, a fastening groove 75 is opened on the surface of the direction-changing roller 4, and the cross-section of the fastening groove 75 is E-shaped, wherein the protruding fastening groove 75 is adapted to the fastening column 73, and a plurality of fixed teeth 76 are fixedly connected to the side of the fastening groove 75 away from the fastening column 73, and the plurality of fixed teeth 76 are arranged in a ring array on the inner surface of the fastening groove 75, and the fixed teeth 76 are meshed with the fastening gear 74;

[0056] It should be noted that if the locking gear 74 is meshed with the fixed tooth 76 , the locking column 73 is located at a position where the locking groove 75 is not extended;

[0057] In a further embodiment, the surfaces of the direction-changing rollers 4 are fixedly connected with transmission wheels 77, and transmission belts 78 are connected between adjacent transmission wheels 77;

[0058] In some specific implementation schemes, a selection groove 81 is provided on the surface of the selection block 52, the selection groove 81 is adapted to the selection rod 53, and a selection spring 82 is fixedly connected between the selection groove 81 and the selection rod 53;

[0061] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the battery is transported to the position of the driving block 51 and moves again, which will drive the driving block 51 to move, and then the conveying rod 91 rotates. The movement of the driving block 51 prompts the driving column 54 to move and drives the selection block 52 and the selection rod 53 to move. If one end of the battery cannot reach the surface of the conveying roller 3 on the other side, the driving block 51 has not moved to the specified position, and the proximity sensor driving motor is started, driving the driving cone wheel 61 to rotate, prompting the reversing cone wheel 62 on one side to rotate, and then driving the reversing roller 4 to rotate, prompting the battery to move toward the conveying roller 3 on that side again; if a battery approaches the battery during the movement, the rear battery will prompt the selection rod 53 to slide, and then the driving belt 56 will prompt the selection column to rotate, driving the belt 57 to wind, and the reversing cone wheel 62 will slide under the action of the driving block 59. At this time, the reversing cone wheel 62 on the other side is meshed with the driving cone wheel 61, and the reversing roller reverses, prompting the battery to move in the opposite direction to the target direction, until the rear battery is separated from the reversing roller 4, the selection rod 53 is reset, and the front battery continues to move to the position of the reversing frame 2.

[0062] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical method of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical method of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical method of the present invention.
