Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery manufacturing and relates to conveying technology, specifically a battery conveying system with automatic direction-changing control. Background Technology

[0002] The production of batteries generally involves several steps, including plate manufacturing, lead component processing, battery pack welding, battery cell configuration, assembly, charging, testing, and packaging. In each step, materials or processed components are transported to machines in different directions via conveyor rollers for further processing or testing.

[0003] When existing batteries are transported to different locations, insufficient power for material transport is unavoidable, causing different battery groups to accumulate in the same location, affecting subsequent processing. In such cases, manual intervention in the transport process or relevant measures from the control system are generally required. The measures taken by the control system also require operators to debug before use. Relying solely on manual unblocking of the transport process makes it difficult to ensure that the accumulation location can be detected and dealt with in a timely manner, affecting the speed of subsequent processing. On the other hand, judging and dealing with the accumulation status through the control system requires data from numerous sensors and other devices, making it too dependent on electronic components. Moreover, the parameters that need to be set during the initial debugging process are numerous and complex, resulting in a high threshold for use and high maintenance costs.

[0004] Therefore, this invention proposes a battery delivery system with automatic direction-changing control. Summary of the Invention

[0008] A drive column is slidably connected to the surface of the conveyor frame. A transfer block is rotatably connected to one end of the drive column near the conveyor frame. The transfer block is slidably connected to the surface of the conveyor frame. A drive belt is fixedly connected between the drive column and the selection rod. A driving belt is slidably connected to the surface of the drive column. One end of the driving belt is fixedly connected to the surface of the drive block. A transfer belt is fixedly connected to the lower side of the drive belt on the drive column.

[0009] A drive block is slidably connected to the inside of the conveyor frame and to one end of the transfer belt. A drive assembly for rotating the reversing roller in different directions is provided between the drive block and the conveyor frame. A proximity sensor is fixedly connected to the surface of the conveyor frame.

[0010] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a drive cone wheel, which is rotatably connected to the inside of the conveyor frame. Two reversing cone wheels are rotatably connected to the surface of the drive block. Both reversing cone wheels can mesh with the drive cone wheel, and the distance between the reversing cone wheels is greater than the diameter of the drive cone wheel.

[0011] Optionally, a movable ring is provided on the side of the reversing cone wheel away from the driving cone wheel, and a movable shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the driving block, the movable shaft being adapted to the movable ring.

[0012] Optionally, an outer rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the reversing cone wheel near the reversing roller, and an inner rod is fixedly connected to the reversing cone wheel away from the reversing roller on the side facing the reversing roller. The outer rod has a larger diameter than the inner rod, and the inner rod passes through and extends to the surface of the outer rod.

[0013] Optionally, a locking post is fixedly connected to the surface of the outer rod, and a locking gear is fixedly connected to one end of the inner rod near the reversing roller. A locking groove is formed on the surface of the reversing roller. The cross-section of the locking groove is E-shaped. Several fixing teeth are fixedly connected to the side of the locking groove away from the locking post. The several fixing teeth are arranged in a ring array on the inner surface of the locking groove, and the fixing teeth mesh with the locking gear.

[0014] Optionally, each of the reversing rollers has a drive wheel fixedly connected to its surface, and a drive belt drives between adjacent drive wheels.

[0015] Optionally, the surface of the selection block is provided with a selection groove, the selection groove is adapted to the selection rod, and a selection spring is fixedly connected between the selection groove and the selection rod.

A sliding selection rod is installed inside the selection block. Both the drive block and the selection rod surfaces are in contact with the battery surface. When the battery slides to the reversing roller surface, it drives the drive block to move. The drive block's position reaching the surface of the other conveying roller indicates that the battery has slid to the conveying roller surface. If the battery has not moved to the surface of that side of the conveying roller, the movement of the battery on the rear side will cause the selection rod to move, which in turn drives the block to move. When the moving block is not in position, the drive component will cause the reversing roller to rotate. At this time, the moving block moves, and the reversing roller rotates in the opposite direction, which will cause the rear battery to move to the surface of the conveying roller and then change direction again to drive the front battery to the designated position. Thus, the rotation direction of the reversing roller can be determined by only a single sensor and the position of the selection rod. It can autonomously separate the batteries that have not reached the position during conveying and the batteries that are attached to them, and cause the batteries that have not reached the position to slide to the position of the reversing frame. Fewer component data need to be controlled, which is more convenient, and it can promptly drive the batteries that have not reached the position of the reversing frame to the position of the reversing frame to avoid blockage.

[0035] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] like Figure 1-10 As shown, a battery conveying system with automatic reversing control includes a conveyor frame 1 and a reversing frame 2, which are fixedly connected.

[0037] It should be noted that the reversing frame 2 is located on the rear side of the conveying frame 1 in the battery conveying direction, and the reversing frame 2 is provided with a pushing structure (not shown in the figure) for pushing the battery to move.

[0038] The conveyor frame 1 is internally rotatably connected with several conveying rollers 3 and several reversing rollers 4;

[0039] It should be noted that the several conveying rollers 3 are divided into two groups and arranged on both sides of the several reversing rollers 4. The several conveying rollers 3 and the several reversing rollers 4 are arranged in a straight array on the surface of the conveying frame 1, and the reversing 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 conveyor frame 1 and the reversing roller 4, the selection mechanism comprising:

[0042] The driving block 51 and the selection block 52 are slidably disposed on the surface of the conveyor frame 1. The distance between the driving block 51 and the selection block 52 is equal to the length of the battery. The selection block 52 is slidably connected to the selection rod 53. The surfaces of the driving block 51 and the selection rod 53 are in contact with the surface of the battery. The cross-section of the selection rod 53 decreases in size towards the battery and is arc-shaped towards the battery.

[0043] A drive column 54 is slidably connected to the surface of the conveyor frame 1. A transfer block 55 is rotatably connected to one end of the drive column 54 near the conveyor frame 1. The transfer block 55 is slidably connected to the surface of the conveyor frame 1. A drive belt 56 is fixedly connected between the drive column 54 and the selection rod 53. A driving belt 57 is slidably connected to the surface of the drive column 54. One end of the driving belt 57 is fixedly connected to the surface of the drive block 51. A transfer belt 58 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the drive belt 56 on the drive column 54.

[0044] It should be noted that the drive belt 56 between the drive column 54 and the selector lever 53 is made of a rigid-soft material. That is, when the selector lever 53 moves toward the drive column 54, the drive belt 56 will move toward the drive block 51, and the middle of the drive belt 56 will not slack. Furthermore, there is a mutually adaptable protruding structure (not shown in the figure) between the drive belt 56 and the drive column 54, that is, the movement of the drive belt 56 can drive the drive column 54 to rotate.

[0045] It should be noted that the surface of the transfer block 55 is provided with a single hole (not shown in the figure) that is adapted to the drive belt 57. The drive belt 57 passes through this hole and is fixed to the surface of the drive column 54. That is, the rotation of the drive column 54 will cause the drive belt 57 to wrap around the surface of the drive column 54.

[0046] A drive block 59 is slidably connected to the inside of the conveyor frame 1 and to one end of the transfer belt 58. A drive assembly for realizing the rotation of the reversing roller 4 in different directions is provided between the drive block 59 and the conveyor frame 1. A proximity sensor is fixedly connected to the surface of the conveyor frame 1 and is electrically connected to the components in the drive assembly.

[0047] It should be noted that proximity sensors can detect the presence or location of an object without contacting it; common proximity sensors include inductive, capacitive, and magnetic types, which determine the object's position by detecting changes in the electromagnetic field between the object and the sensor, and start the motor when necessary.

[0048] It should be noted that a drive spring is fixedly connected between the drive block 59 and the conveyor frame 1;

[0049] In this automatically directional control battery conveying system, during practical application, a drive block 51 and a selection block 52 with a spacing equal to the battery length are set. A sliding selection rod 53 is installed inside the selection block 52. Both the drive block 51 and the selection rod 53 are in contact with the battery surface. When the battery slides to the surface of the directional roller 4, it drives the drive block 51 to move. When the drive block 51 reaches the surface of the other side's conveying roller 3, it indicates that the battery has slid to the surface of the conveying roller 3. If the battery has not moved to the surface of that side's conveying roller 3, and the battery on the rear moves, it will cause the selection rod 53 to move. At this time, it drives the block 59 to move. Meanwhile, the drive block 51... When the battery is not in position, the drive component will cause the reversing roller 4 to rotate. At this time, the drive block 59 will move and the reversing roller 4 will rotate in the opposite direction. This will cause the rear battery to move to the surface of the conveying roller 3 and then change direction again to drive the front battery to the designated position. Thus, the rotation direction of the reversing roller 4 can be realized by a single sensor and the position of the selection rod 53. It can autonomously separate the battery that has not reached the position during conveying and the battery that is attached to it, and cause the battery that has not reached the position to slide to the position of the reversing frame 2. It requires less control of component data, is more convenient, and can promptly drive the battery that has not reached the position of the reversing frame 2 to the position of the reversing frame 2 to avoid blockage.

[0050] In some specific implementations, the drive assembly includes a drive cone wheel 61, which is rotatably connected to the inside of the conveyor frame 1;

[0051] It should be noted that a motor is fixedly connected inside the conveyor frame 1. The motor is electrically connected to an external power source. A coupling (not shown in the figure) is fixedly connected to one end of the motor output shaft. The coupling (not shown in the figure) is fixedly connected to one end of the drive cone wheel 61.

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

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

[0054] In a further embodiment, an outer rod 71 is fixedly connected to the surface of the reversing cone wheel 62 near the reversing roller 4, and an inner rod 72 is fixedly connected to the reversing cone wheel 62 away from the reversing roller 4 on the side facing the reversing roller 4. The diameter of the outer rod 71 is larger than that of the inner rod 72, and the inner rod 72 penetrates through and extends to the surface of the outer rod 71.

[0055] In a further embodiment, a locking post 73 is fixedly connected to the surface of the outer rod 71, and a locking gear 74 is fixedly connected to one end of the inner rod 72 near the reversing roller 4. A locking groove 75 is formed on the surface of the reversing roller 4. The cross-section of the locking groove 75 is E-shaped, wherein the protruding locking groove 75 is adapted to the locking post 73. A plurality of fixing teeth 76 are fixedly connected to the side of the locking groove 75 away from the locking post 73. The plurality of fixing teeth 76 are arranged in a ring array on the inner surface of the locking groove 75, and the fixing teeth 76 mesh with the locking gear 74.

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

[0057] In a further embodiment, each of the reversing rollers 4 is fixedly connected to a drive wheel 77, and a drive belt 78 is driven between adjacent drive wheels 77.

[0058] In some specific implementations, the surface of the selection block 52 is provided with a selection groove 81, 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;

[0059] In some specific implementations, a conveying rod 91 is rotatably connected inside the conveying frame 1, and a spiral groove 92 is formed on the surface of the conveying rod 91. A conveying shaft 93 is fixedly connected inside the driving block 51, and the conveying shaft 93 is adapted to the spiral groove 92.

[0060] In a further embodiment, the conveyor frame 1 has a reverse groove 94 inside, the diameter of the reverse groove 94 is larger than the diameter of the conveyor rod 91, and a helical spring 95 is fixedly connected between the reverse groove 94 and the conveyor rod 91.

[0061] The working principle of this invention: When the battery is transported to the position of the drive block 51 and moves again, it will drive the drive block 51 to move, which in turn will cause the conveyor rod 91 to rotate. The movement of the drive block 51 will cause the drive column 54 to move and drive the selection block 52 and the selection rod 53 to move. If one end of the battery cannot reach the surface of the other side conveyor roller 3, the drive block 51 has not moved to the designated position. The proximity sensor drive motor starts, which drives the drive cone wheel 61 to rotate, causing the reversing cone wheel 62 on one side to rotate, which in turn drives the reversing roller 4 to rotate, causing the battery to move towards the conveyor roller 3 on that side again. If the battery gets close to the battery during the movement, the rear battery will cause the selection rod 53 to slide, which will drive the belt 56 to rotate, causing the selection column to rotate, which will drive the belt 57 to wind. The reversing cone wheel 62 slides under the action of the drive block 59. At this time, the reversing cone wheel 62 on the other side meshes with the drive cone wheel 61, the reversing roller reverses, and causes the battery to move in the opposite direction to the target direction. When the rear battery disengages from the reversing roller 4, the selection rod 53 resets, and the front battery continues to move towards the position of the reversing frame 2.

[0062] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical methods of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical methods of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical methods of the present invention.
