Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery production, and in particular to a gas processing device. Background Art

[0002] Before the battery is formed, it is usually placed on a restraint vehicle to limit the deformation of the battery in the subsequent formation process. Among them, some restraint vehicles in the related art are set to be inflatable, so that the airbag part in the restraint vehicle is inflated and expanded by the inflating device to achieve the abutment and limit the battery. However, in the actual inflation process, it is difficult to ensure accurate corresponding connection between the inflating device and the restraint vehicle, which affects the work efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0003] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a gas processing device, aiming to realize self-calibration and alignment of the gas head of the gas processing device and the gas nozzle on the restraint carrier, so that the gas processing device and the restraint carrier can be quickly and accurately connected to improve work efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the gas processing device proposed in the present invention is configured to inflate the restraint vehicle, the restraint vehicle is provided with a gas nozzle, and the gas processing device comprises:

[0005] a first drive member; and

[0006] The air head mechanism comprises a first carrier, an air head and a guide member, the first carrier is connected to a first driving member, and the first driving member is configured to drive the first carrier to move along a first direction to approach or move away from the restraining carrier;

[0007] The air head is movably connected to the first carrier along a second direction intersecting the first direction. The guide member is connected to the air head. The guide member is configured to abut and cooperate with the restraint carrier when the first carrier moves close to the restraint carrier to guide the air head to move in the second direction to correspond to the air nozzle.

[0008] The gas processing equipment of the technical solution of this embodiment is configured so that the gas head in the gas head mechanism can move in the second direction, and is also configured in cooperation with the guide member. When the first driving member drives the gas head mechanism to move in the first direction close to the restraint carrier, the guide member can first be in contact with the restraint carrier, and under the continuous drive of the first driving member, the guide member and the restraint carrier can form an abutment force, which can form a component force in the second direction, and is converted into a driving force that drives the gas head to move in the second direction, so as to adjust the gas head in the second direction to correspond to the gas nozzle on the restraint carrier. Therefore, the structural setting of the gas processing equipment in this solution realizes the self-calibration and alignment of the gas head in the gas processing equipment and the gas nozzle on the restraint carrier, and then can realize that the gas processing equipment and the restraint carrier can be quickly and accurately connected to each other, so as to improve the working efficiency of the gas processing equipment.

[0009] Optionally, the guide member is provided with a guide surface, and the guide surface is configured to abut against the restraint carrier.

[0010] Therefore, the guide member can be conveniently applied to various types of restraint carriers for abutment guidance.

[0011] Optionally, the number of the guide members is at least two, wherein at least two guide members are arranged relatively spaced apart in the second direction;

[0012] The guide surface is an inclined surface or an arc surface, and the two guide surfaces on the two opposite guide members enclose a guide channel, and the guide channel has a first opening and a second opening. The first opening is configured for the restraint vehicle to enter, and the area of ​​the first opening is larger than the area of ​​the second opening.

[0013] In this way, the air head can be moved bidirectionally in the second direction to adjust its position, thereby improving the convenience of adjusting the positioning of the air head and the air nozzle.

[0014] Optionally, in the direction from the first opening to the second opening, the guide surface includes at least two sub-wall surfaces connected in sequence;

[0015] In two adjacent sub-wall surfaces, an angle formed by the sub-wall surface close to the first opening and the first direction is greater than an angle formed by the sub-wall surface close to the second opening and the first direction.

[0016] Therefore, the guide channel with a relatively large cross-section formed by enclosing part of the sub-wall surface can facilitate the entry of the restraint vehicle, while the guide channel with a relatively small cross-section formed by enclosing part of the sub-wall surface can reduce the resistance encountered by the restraint vehicle entering the guide channel.

[0017] Optionally, the air head is located between two opposite guide members, and the first opening is arranged farther away from the air head than the second opening;

[0018] On a projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, a projection of the air head is at least partially located within a projection of the guide channel.

[0019] Thereby, the compactness of the structural distribution can be improved so as to reduce the overall volume of the gas processing equipment.

[0020] Optionally, the air head mechanism further includes an elastic member, which is arranged between the air head and the first carrier.

[0021] Thereby, the automatic resetting of the gas head can be achieved.

[0022] Optionally, the number of the elastic members is at least two, wherein the at least two elastic members are respectively located on two opposite sides of the air head in the second direction.

[0023] Thereby, the resetting elastic force provided to the air head can be increased, so as to effectively drive the air head to be reset, while improving the uniformity of the force applied to the air head.

[0024] Optionally, the air head mechanism further comprises a second carrier, the second carrier being movably connected to the first carrier along the second direction;

[0025] The air head mechanism also includes an articulated seat and a ball head rod, and the ball head rod is rotatably connected to the articulated seat;

[0026] One of the air head and the second carrier is connected to the hinge seat, the other one is connected to one end of the ball head rod away from the hinge seat, and the guide piece is connected to the second carrier.

[0027] In this way, the position deviation of the air nozzle on the restraint carrier caused by deformation during manufacturing or use can be accommodated, and the accuracy of the docking and connection between the air head and the air nozzle can be further improved.

[0028] Optionally, the number of the gas heads is at least two, and they are arranged sequentially along the second direction.

[0029] In this way, it is possible to achieve simultaneous inflation of at least two channels, further improving the working efficiency of the gas processing equipment.

[0030] Optionally, the gas head comprises:

[0031] A main body seat, the main body seat is provided with a plug-in slot for inserting the air supply nozzle, and the guide piece is connected to the main body seat; and

[0032] The ejector pin is convexly arranged on the groove wall corresponding to the groove opening of the plug-in groove and is configured to be communicated with the air nozzle.

[0033] Thereby, the stability of the connection between the gas head and the gas nozzle can be improved.

[0034] Optionally, the air head mechanism also includes a sealing ring, which is arranged in the plug-in groove and around the ejector pin.

[0035] Thereby, the sealing performance at the joint between the gas head and the gas nozzle can be improved.

[0036] Optionally, the gas processing device further includes a clamping mechanism, which is disposed on one side of the gas head mechanism in the first direction, and the clamping mechanism includes:

[0037] a second drive member; and

[0038] At least two clamping arms, wherein at least two clamping arms are arranged relatively spaced apart in a third direction, the third direction intersects the first direction and the second direction, and the second driving member is configured to drive at least one of the two relative clamping arms to move along the third direction so that the two relative clamping arms clamp or release the restraint carrier.

[0039] Thereby, the restraint carrier can be positioned in the third direction, and at the same time it is beneficial to improve the stability of the abutment guide between the guide member and the restraint carrier.

[0040] Optionally, the two opposing clamping arms include a fixed arm and a movable arm, the movable arm is connected to a second driving member, and the second driving member is configured to drive the movable arm to approach or move away from the fixed arm.

[0041] Thus, the fixed arm can be formed as a reference side, thereby improving the accuracy of positioning the restraint carrier in the third direction; at the same time, the second driving member only needs to drive the movable arm, so that its structure or number can be simplified.

[0042] Optionally, the gas processing equipment further comprises a support frame, and the first driving member, the second driving member and the fixed arm are all connected to the support frame.

[0043] This makes it easier to assemble the various components in the gas processing equipment into a whole.

[0044] Optionally, the gas processing equipment also includes a conveying line, which is configured to convey the restraint carrier along the second direction, and an inflation station is formed on the conveying path, and the gas head mechanism is arranged at the inflation station.

[0045] Therefore, the automatic feeding of the restraint carrier is realized, which can improve the automation level of the gas processing equipment and is conducive to further improving the working efficiency of the gas processing equipment.

[0046] Optionally, the gas processing equipment further comprises a stop mechanism, which is arranged on the conveying line and located upstream of the inflation station;

[0047] The stopping mechanism includes a third driving member and a stopping member, wherein the third driving member is configured to drive the stopping member to move to abut against the restraining vehicle located on the conveying line to block the restraining vehicle upstream of the inflation station.

[0048] This reduces the impact of the subsequent restraint vehicle on the inflation process of the preceding restraint vehicle. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0061] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0062] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0063] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present application (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0064] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connection", "fixation", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0065] In addition, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in this application are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the meaning of "and / or" appearing in the full text is to include three parallel solutions. Taking "A and / or B as an example", it includes solution A, or solution B, or a solution that satisfies both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.

[0066] During the battery formation process, the battery will expand and its volume will change. When the battery volume changes too much, it may cause problems such as battery structure damage and short circuit between electrodes. Therefore, before the battery is formed, the battery is usually placed on a restraint carrier to limit the deformation of the battery in the subsequent formation process through the abutment limit of the restraint carrier.

[0067] Among them, some restraint vehicles in the related art are set to be inflatable, so that the airbag part in the restraint vehicle is inflated and expanded by the inflating device to achieve the abutment and limit of the battery. However, in the actual inflation process, it is difficult to ensure accurate corresponding connection between the inflating device and the restraint vehicle, which affects the work efficiency.

[0068] Therefore, based on the above considerations, in order to solve the problem of low working efficiency of the inflation device in the related art, the present application proposes a new type of inflation device. The inflation device innovatively sets the inflation head in the inflation head mechanism to be movable, and is provided with a guide member, so that when the inflation head moves along the first direction to approach the restraint vehicle, the abutment and cooperation between the guide member and the restraint vehicle can drive the inflation head to move along the second direction intersecting the first direction, so that the inflation head of the inflation device and the air nozzle on the restraint vehicle can self-check and align to achieve rapid corresponding connection between the inflation device and the restraint vehicle, thereby improving the working efficiency of the inflation device.

[0069] In addition, it should be noted that the gas processing equipment proposed in the present application can be used only as an inflation device, of course, it can also be used only as a deflation device, or it can be used as both an inflation device and a deflation device. Among them, when the gas processing equipment only has an inflation function, the gas processing equipment can include a positive air pressure tank connected to the gas head; when the gas processing equipment only has a deflation function, the gas processing equipment can include a negative air pressure tank connected to the gas head; and when the gas processing equipment has both inflation and deflation functions, the gas processing equipment can include a positive air pressure tank and a negative air pressure tank connected to the gas head, and the switching of inflation and deflation can be achieved by switching the connection between the positive air pressure tank and the negative air pressure tank and the gas head mechanism. In addition, it should be noted that the gas processing equipment can be used as the restraint carrier for restraining the battery as described above for inflating and / or deflation. Of course, the restraint carrier can also be used to abut and limit other products.

[0070] Next, the structure of the gas processing equipment proposed in this application is explained and described:

[0071] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5In one embodiment of the present application, the gas processing equipment 100 proposed in the present application includes a first driving member 10 and a gas head mechanism 20; the gas head mechanism 20 includes a first carrier 21, a gas head 22 and a guide member 23, the first carrier 21 is connected to the first driving member 10, and the first driving member 10 is configured to drive the first carrier 21 to move along a first direction to approach or move away from the restraint carrier 300; the gas head 22 is movably connected to the first carrier 21 along a second direction intersecting the first direction, and the guide member 23 is connected to the gas head 22, and the guide member 23 is configured to abut and cooperate with the restraint carrier 300 when the first carrier 21 moves close to the restraint carrier 300, so as to guide the gas head 22 to move in the second direction to correspond to the gas nozzle 301.

[0072] The first driving member 10 can be used to provide a driving force to drive the gas head mechanism 20 to move in the first direction, thereby realizing that the gas head mechanism 20 is close to or away from the restraint vehicle 300. Among them, when the gas treatment equipment 100 is in normal use, the first direction can be the up and down direction. That is, the restraint vehicle 300 can be located below the gas head mechanism 20. Of course, it should be noted that the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the first direction can also be a horizontal direction or other directions. In addition, the first driving member 10 can be a telescopic cylinder, and of course it can also be a linear module, etc. The present application does not limit the type of the first driving member 10.

[0073] The first carrier 21 can be used to provide an installation position for the air head 22, so that the various components in the air head mechanism 20 can be assembled into a whole. At the same time, the first carrier 21 can also be used to connect with the first driving member 10, so as to realize the driving of the air head mechanism 20 by the first driving member 10. Among them, the first carrier 21 can be a plate structure, or a seat structure or a column structure, etc., and the present application does not limit the structural type and shape of the first carrier 21. In addition, the first carrier 21 can be extended along the second direction so as to install at least one air head 22 in the second direction. When the first direction is the up and down direction as described above, the second direction can be a horizontal direction, which can specifically refer to the front and back direction alone, or the left and right direction alone, or can include both the front and back direction and the left and right direction.

[0074] The air head 22 can be used to connect with the air nozzle 301 on the restraint vehicle 300, so as to inflate and / or deflate the airbag part on the restraint vehicle 300. The air head 22 can be connected to the positive air pressure tank and / or the negative air pressure tank described above through a pipeline. In addition, the air head 22 can be directly movably installed on the first carrier 21. Of course, the air head 22 can also be installed on the second carrier 25 as described below, and the second carrier 25 is movably installed on the first carrier 21 to realize the indirect movability installation of the air head 22 on the first carrier 21. The mobile installation method can be a matching form in which a slider is slidably embedded in a slide groove, or a matching form in which a slider is slidably sleeved on a guide rail. The present application does not limit the mobile installation method. In addition, the number of air heads 22 can be one, and of course it can also be two or more.

[0075] The guide member 23 can be in contact with the restraint carrier 300 during the process in which the first driving member 10 drives the air head mechanism 20 to approach the restraint carrier 300. At this time, through the abutment force between the two, it can be converted into a driving force for driving the air head 22 to move in the second direction, so as to drive the guide air head 22 to move to correspond to the air nozzle 301. Among them, the abutment between the guide member 23 and the restraint carrier 300 can be that the guide member 23 is provided with a guide surface 231 as described below, of course, it can also be provided with a guide surface 231 on the restraint carrier 300, or both are provided with a guide surface 231 at the same time. In addition, the guide member 23 can be a plate structure, or a cylindrical structure, etc. The structural type and shape of the guide member 23 of the present application are not limited, and it can be achieved that in the process in which the air head mechanism 20 approaches the restraint carrier 300 along the first direction, the guide member 23 can be in contact with the restraint carrier 300 to adjust the position of the air head 22 in the second direction. In addition, the guide member 23 and the air head 22 can be directly connected. Of course, the two can also be installed on the second carrier 25 as described below, and the guide member 23 and the air head 22 can be indirectly connected through the second carrier 25. In addition, the number of guide members 23 can be one, or two or more. In addition, when the number of guide members 23 is at least two, the air head 22 can be located between at least two guide members 23, or on one side of at least two guide members 23. In addition, the guide member 23 can be closer to the restraint carrier 300 than the air head 22. Of course, when a groove is provided on the restraint carrier 300 and the air nozzle 301 is provided in the groove, the air head 22 can also be closer to the restraint carrier 300 than the guide member 23, so as to ensure that the air head 22 can be abutted and guided with the restraint carrier 300 through the guide member 23 before docking and connecting with the air nozzle 301.

[0076] The gas treatment device 100 of the technical solution of this embodiment is configured to move the gas head 22 in the gas head mechanism 20 in the second direction, and is also configured to cooperate with the guide member 23. When the first driving member 10 drives the gas head mechanism 20 to move in the first direction close to the restraint carrier 300, the guide member 23 can firstly abut against the restraint carrier 300, and under the continuous driving of the first driving member 10, the guide member 23 and the restraint carrier 300 form abutment force, which can form a component force in the second direction, and is converted into a driving force for driving the gas head 22 to move in the second direction, so as to adjust the gas head 22 in the second direction to correspond to the gas nozzle 301 on the restraint carrier 300. Therefore, the structural setting of the gas processing equipment 100 in the present scheme realizes the self-calibration and alignment of the gas head 22 in the gas processing equipment 100 and the gas nozzle 301 on the restraint carrier 300, thereby enabling the gas processing equipment 100 and the restraint carrier 300 to be quickly and accurately connected to each other, so as to improve the working efficiency of the gas processing equipment 100.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present application, the guide member 23 is provided with a guide surface 231 , and the guide surface 231 is configured to abut and cooperate with the restraint carrier 300 .

[0078] The guide surface 231 may be an inclined surface, a curved surface or a conical surface. When the guide surface 231 is an inclined surface or a curved surface, the guide member 23 may abut against the side of the restraint carrier 300 through the guide surface 231. When the guide surface 231 is a conical surface, the guide member 23 may abut against the guide hole on the restraint carrier 300 through the guide surface 231.

[0079] In this embodiment, a guide surface 231 is provided on the guide member 23 , which can facilitate the guide member 23 to be applicable to various types of restraint vehicles 300 for abutment and guidance, and can also simplify the structural setting of the restraint vehicle 300 .

[0080] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present application, the number of guide members 23 is at least two, wherein at least two guide members 23 are arranged relatively spaced apart in the second direction; the guide surface 231 is an inclined surface or an arc surface, and the two guide surfaces 231 on the two opposite guide members 23 are enclosed to form a guide channel 233, and the guide channel 233 has a first opening 234 and a second opening 235, and the first opening 234 is configured for the restraint vehicle 300 to enter, and the area of ​​the first opening 234 is larger than the area of ​​the second opening 235.

[0081] The two guide surfaces 231 on the two opposing guide members 23 may be arranged facing each other, and the space therebetween forms a guide channel 233. When the first direction is the up-down direction as described above, the first opening 234 may be located at the lower end of the guide channel 233, and the second opening 235 may be located at the upper end of the guide channel 233, so that the cross section of the guide channel 233 is reduced from bottom to top.

[0082] In this embodiment, the guide surface 231 is an inclined surface or an arc surface, which can make the structure of the guide surface 231 relatively simple, thereby facilitating the convenience of processing and forming the guide surface 231. At the same time, it also provides a structural basis, which is convenient for the guide surfaces 231 on the two opposite guide members 23 to enclose and form the guide channel 233, so that the air head 22 can be moved in two directions in the second direction through the abutment guidance of the guide channel 233 on the opposite sides of the second direction to adjust the position, thereby improving the convenience of the alignment adjustment of the air head 22 and the air nozzle 301.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present application, in the direction from the first opening 234 to the second opening 235, the guide surface 231 includes at least two sub-wall surfaces 232 connected in sequence; among the two adjacent sub-wall surfaces 232, the angle formed by the sub-wall surface 232 close to the first opening 234 and the first direction is greater than the angle formed by the sub-wall surface 232 close to the second opening 235 and the first direction.

[0084] When the first opening 234 is located at the lower end of the guide channel 233 as described above, that is, in the direction from bottom to top, the guide surface 231 includes at least two sub-wall surfaces 232, and the angle formed by the sub-wall surface 232 located at the bottom and the up-down direction is greater than the angle formed by the sub-wall surface 232 located at the top and the up-down direction.

[0085] In this embodiment, the guide surface 231 includes at least two sub-wall surfaces 232 with different slopes, so that the guide channel 233 with a relatively large cross-section formed by the lower sub-wall surface 232 can facilitate the alignment and entry of the restraint vehicle 300, while the guide channel 233 with a relatively small cross-section formed by the upper sub-wall surface 232 can reduce the resistance encountered by the restraint vehicle 300 when entering the guide channel 233.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present application, the air head 22 is located between two opposite guide members 23, and the first opening 234 is arranged farther away from the air head 22 than the second opening 235; on the projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, the projection of the air head 22 is at least partially located within the projection of the guide channel 233.

[0087] When the first opening 234 is located at the lower end of the guide channel 233 as described above, the gas head 22 may be located above the guide channel 233 , or may partially pass through the second opening 235 and extend into the guide channel 233 .

[0088] In this embodiment, the gas head 22 is disposed between two opposite guide members 23 , which can improve the compactness of the structural distribution, so as to reduce the overall volume of the gas processing equipment 100 .

[0089] Please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present application, the air head mechanism 20 further includes an elastic member 24 , and the elastic member 24 is disposed between the air head 22 and the first carrier 21 .

[0090] The elastic member 24 can be elastically deformed. The elastic member 24 can be a spring, or a spring sheet.

[0091] In this embodiment, the resetting elastic force formed by the elastic member 24 facilitates the automatic resetting of the air head 22 in the second direction after the inflation is completed.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present application, the number of the elastic members 24 is at least two, wherein the at least two elastic members 24 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the air head 22 in the second direction.
