Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of energy storage module handling equipment, and in particular relates to an automated material handling device for an energy storage module production line. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, energy storage modules are increasingly used in various fields, such as electric vehicles, wind power generation, solar power generation, etc. In the production process of energy storage modules, material handling is an indispensable link.

[0003] On the energy storage module production line, material handling typically involves multiple steps, including transporting the modules from the raw material area to the processing area and transferring them between different workstations. Traditional material handling methods often rely on manual operations using tools such as forklifts and cranes, which have numerous shortcomings. For example, manual operations are inefficient and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production. Furthermore, manual operations pose safety risks and are prone to work-related accidents. To address the challenges of traditional material handling methods, researchers have begun exploring automated material handling technologies. Automated material handling technologies offer advantages such as high efficiency, excellent safety, and strong flexibility, and have been widely used in various fields.

[0004] However, existing automated material handling devices still have some shortcomings in meeting the specific needs of energy storage module production lines. For example, some devices cannot effectively secure the energy storage modules during handling, causing the modules to shake or fall during handling. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automated material handling device for an energy storage module production line, which is used to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the energy storage module cannot be effectively fixed during the handling process, resulting in the module shaking or falling during the handling process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Example 1: Figures 1-6 As shown, the automated material handling device of the energy storage module production line includes a fixed frame 100, a first hydraulic cylinder 101, a bracket 102, a conveyor belt 104, an adjustment mechanism 110, a pressing mechanism 200, a shovel plate 103, multiple inserting plates 105 and multiple slots 106.

[0035] The first hydraulic cylinder 101 is installed in the fixed frame 100; the bracket 102 is used to support the energy storage module, the bracket 102 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 100, the bracket 102 is fixedly connected to the extended end of the first hydraulic cylinder 101, and the inner bottom surface of the bracket 102 is provided with a mounting groove; the conveyor belt 104 is installed in the mounting groove of the bracket 102; the adjustment mechanism 110 is used to drive the fixed frame 100 to move up and down and rotate; the clamping mechanism 200 is used to squeeze the energy storage module in the bracket 102.

[0036] The shovel plate 103 is mounted on the bracket 102 ; a plurality of inserting plates 105 are mounted on the fixing frame 100 ; a plurality of slots 106 are opened on the top and bottom surfaces of the bracket 102 , and the plurality of slots 106 are slidably connected to the plurality of inserting plates 105 .

[0037] Specifically, when the energy storage module needs to be transported, the first hydraulic cylinder 101 is activated, causing the extended end of the first hydraulic cylinder 101 to move the bracket 102 and the shovel 103. The shovel 103 then scoops up the energy storage module, bringing it into contact with the conveyor belt 104. The conveyor belt 104 is then activated, causing it to move toward the center of the bracket 102. When the energy storage module is directly below the clamping mechanism 200, the conveyor belt 104 is closed. The first hydraulic cylinder 101 is then activated again, causing the bracket 102 to move toward the center of the fixed frame 100. The clamping mechanism 200 is then activated to compress the energy storage module to prevent it from shaking or falling during transport.

[0038] Then, the adjusting mechanism 110 drives the fixing frame 100 to move up and down or rotate, thereby driving the bracket 102 and the energy storage module to move, thereby facilitating the transportation of the energy storage module.

[0039] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 110 includes a base plate 111, multiple movable wheels 112, a second hydraulic cylinder 113, a rotating column 114, a gear ring 115, a motor 116, and a gear 117. The base plate 111 is located directly below the fixed frame 100; the multiple movable wheels 112 are mounted on the bottom surface of the base plate 111; the second hydraulic cylinder 113 is mounted on the top surface of the base plate 111; and the rotating column 114 is mounted at the extended end of the second hydraulic cylinder 113 and is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the fixed frame 100.

[0040] The gear ring 115 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating column 114 ; the motor 116 is mounted on the bottom surface of the fixing frame 100 ; the gear 117 is mounted on the power output shaft of the motor 116 , and the gear 117 is meshed with the gear ring 115 .

[0041] Specifically, by activating the second hydraulic cylinder 113, the fixed frame 100 is driven up and down via the rotating column 114, thereby adjusting the height of the bracket 102. When the motor 116 is running, the power output shaft of the motor 116 drives the gear 117 to rotate. Because the gear 117 is meshed with the ring gear 115, and because the fixed frame 100 is rotationally connected to the rotating column 114, when the gear 117 rotates, under the influence of the ring gear 115, the gear 117 and the motor 116 rotate about the rotating column 114, thereby driving the fixed frame 100 to rotate about the rotating column 114.

[0042] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the clamping mechanism 200 includes a third hydraulic cylinder 201, a pressure plate 202, an airbag cushion 203, and an inflation assembly 210. The third hydraulic cylinder 201 is mounted on the inner bottom surface of the bracket 102; the pressure plate 202 is mounted on the extended end of the third hydraulic cylinder 201; the airbag cushion 203 is mounted on the bottom surface of the pressure plate 202, and an electric exhaust valve is installed on the airbag cushion 203; the inflation assembly 210 is used to inflate the airbag cushion 203.

[0043] Specifically, when the energy storage module on the bracket 102 needs to be squeezed and fixed, the third hydraulic cylinder 201 is started, so that the extended end of the third hydraulic cylinder 201 moves downward, thereby driving the pressure plate 202 and the airbag cushion 203 to move downward, and then the energy storage module is squeezed by the airbag cushion 203. Since the airbag cushion 203 will deform when being squeezed, the airbag cushion 203 can better fit the energy storage module, and the pressure plate 202 can be prevented from crushing the energy storage module.

[0044] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the inflation assembly 210 includes an air pump 211, a filter housing 214, a filter plate 215, two mounting brackets 216, and two slide bars 217. The air pump 211 is mounted on the pressure plate 202 and includes an air delivery pipe 212 and an air intake pipe 213. The other end of the air delivery pipe 212 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the airbag cushion 203. The filter housing 214 is mounted on the air intake pipe 213. The filter plate 215 is mounted within the filter housing 214. The two mounting brackets 216 are both mounted on the filter housing 214. The two slide bars 217 are respectively mounted on the two mounting brackets 216.

[0045] Specifically, when the air pump 211 is operating, it delivers air into the airbag cushion 203 through the air delivery tube 212, causing the airbag cushion 203 to expand. When the air pump 211 is operating, outside air passes through the filter plate 215 and enters the filter cover 214. The air then enters the intake pipe 213, where the filter plate 215 filters the air, removing dust and particulate matter. When the airbag cushion 203 is not in use, the air inside the airbag cushion 203 is exhausted by opening the electric exhaust valve on the airbag cushion 203.

[0046] like Figure 8 As shown, the pressing mechanism 200 further includes a cleaning assembly 220 , which includes a crossbar 221 , a fan blade 222 , a first bevel gear 223 , a vertical bar 224 , a second bevel gear 225 , a reciprocating screw 226 , a movable seat 227 and a cleaning brush 228 .

[0047] A crossbar 221 is rotatably mounted within the air pipe 212; blades 222 are mounted on the crossbar 221; a first bevel gear 223 is mounted on the end of the crossbar 221 away from the blades 222; a vertical rod 224 is rotatably mounted on the air pipe 212; a second bevel gear 225 is mounted on the lower end of the vertical rod 224 and meshes with the first bevel gear 223; a reciprocating screw 226 is mounted on the upper end of the vertical rod 224; a movable base 227 is sleeved on the reciprocating screw 226; the movable base 227 can reciprocate up and down along the reciprocating screw 226. A cleaning brush 228 is fixedly connected to the movable base 227, contacts the filter plate 215, and is slidably connected to the two slide bars 217.

[0048] Specifically, when the air pump 211 inflates the airbag cushion 203 through the air pipe 212, the air flowing in the air pipe 212 will drive the fan blades 222 to rotate, thereby driving the cross bar 221 to rotate, thereby driving the first bevel gear 223 to rotate, and then engaging and driving the second bevel gear 225 to rotate, thereby driving the vertical rod 224 and the reciprocating screw 226 to rotate. When the reciprocating screw 226 rotates, the movable seat 227 will move back and forth up and down along the reciprocating screw 226, thereby driving the cleaning brush 228 to move back and forth up and down. The moving cleaning brush 228 will clean the filter plate 215, thereby preventing debris from clogging the filter plate 215 and affecting the air from entering the filter cover 214.

[0049] Working principle: When the energy storage module needs to be moved, the first hydraulic cylinder 101 is activated, causing the extended end of the first hydraulic cylinder 101 to move the bracket 102 and the shovel 103. The shovel 103 then scoops up the energy storage module, bringing it into contact with the conveyor belt 104. The conveyor belt 104 is then activated, driving the energy storage module toward the center of the bracket 102. When the energy storage module is directly under the pressure plate 202, the conveyor belt 104 is closed.

[0050] Then, the first hydraulic cylinder 101 is activated to move the bracket 102 toward the center of the fixing frame 100. The air pump 211 is then activated to deliver air to the airbag cushion 203 through the air delivery pipe 212, thereby expanding the airbag cushion 203.

[0051] Then, the second hydraulic cylinder 113 is activated to drive the pressure plate 202 and the airbag cushion 203 to move downward, thereby squeezing the energy storage module through the airbag cushion 203 to prevent the energy storage module from shaking or falling when being transported.

[0052] Then, by starting the third hydraulic cylinder 201, the height of the fixing frame 100, the bracket 102 and the energy storage module is adjusted, and then by starting the motor 116, the power output shaft of the motor 116 will drive the gear 117 to rotate. Since the gear 117 is meshed with the gear ring 115, and since the fixing frame 100 is rotationally connected to the rotating column 114, when the gear 117 rotates, under the influence of the gear ring 115, the gear 117 and the motor 116 will rotate around the rotating column 114 as the center, thereby driving the fixing frame 100 to rotate around the rotating column 114 as the center, and then adjusting the bracket 102 and the energy storage module in the horizontal direction, thereby facilitating the transportation of the energy storage module.

[0053] Among them, by providing the filter cover 214 and the filter plate 215, debris in the external air can be prevented from entering the air intake pipe 213; when the air pump 211 inflates the airbag cushion 203 through the air supply pipe 212, the air flowing in the air supply pipe 212 will drive the fan blade 222 to rotate, thereby driving the cross bar 221 to rotate, thereby driving the first bevel gear 223 to rotate, and then engaging and driving the second bevel gear 225 to rotate, thereby driving the vertical rod 224 and the reciprocating screw 226 to rotate. When the reciprocating screw 226 rotates, the movable seat 227 will move back and forth up and down along the reciprocating screw 226, thereby driving the cleaning brush 228 to move back and forth up and down. The movable cleaning brush 228 will clean the filter plate 215, thereby preventing debris from clogging the filter plate 215 and affecting the air from entering the filter cover 214.

[0054] Example 2: Figures 1-9 As shown, while other parts are the same as those in Example 1, the difference between this embodiment and Example 1 is that the automated material handling device of the energy storage module production line also includes a control system.

[0055] The control system includes: a data acquisition module, a data analysis module, a data acquisition module and an inflation pressure prediction module. The modules are connected via wired / wireless means to achieve data transmission.

[0056] The data acquisition module is used to collect comprehensive data information of the material handling device, wherein the comprehensive data information includes weight data, volume data and tilt angle data;

[0057] Specifically, the weight data refers to the weight of the energy storage module located in the bracket 102 , and the weight data can be obtained by measuring using a weight sensor;

[0058] The volume data refers to the volume of the energy storage module located in the bracket 102. The volume data can be obtained by measuring the length, width and height of the energy storage module using a laser ranging sensor and then multiplying the length, width and height.

[0059] The tilt angle data refers to the tilt angle of the bracket 102 , and the tilt angle data can be obtained by installing a tilt sensor, a digital level, or a laser level on the bracket 102 .

[0060] The data analysis module generates a stability impact coefficient based on the comprehensive data information, and generates a corresponding pressure level based on the stability impact coefficient;

[0061] The stability influence coefficient is generated as follows:

[0062]

[0063] Wherein, Wd is the stability influence coefficient, Zl is the weight data of the energy storage module in the bracket 102, Tj is the volume data of the energy storage module in the bracket 102, Qx is the tilt angle data of the bracket 102, and are weight coefficients, which are determined by those skilled in the art according to specific application requirements. and All greater than 0;

[0064] The heavier the energy storage module within the bracket 102, the greater its inertia, making it more susceptible to external forces and causing it to wobble or slip during transport. Therefore, the heavier the energy storage module, the more difficult it is to maintain stability, requiring higher compressive and frictional forces to balance this effect, and vice versa.

[0065] The larger the volume of the energy storage module in the bracket 102, the more difficult it is to maintain the center of gravity of the energy storage module in the center, and the stability is easily affected. Therefore, the larger the volume of the energy storage module, the worse the stability, and a higher extrusion force is required to improve the stability, and vice versa.

[0066] The larger the tilt angle of the bracket 102, the easier it is for the center of gravity of the energy storage module in the bracket 102 to shift, and the greater the possibility of the energy storage module sliding or tilting. Therefore, the larger the tilt angle, the more unstable the energy storage module is, and a higher extrusion force is required to improve stability, and vice versa.

[0067] It should be noted that the formulas involved in the above are all calculated by removing the dimensions and taking their numerical values. They are a formula that is closest to the actual situation obtained by collecting a large amount of data and performing software simulation. The weight coefficients in the formulas and the various preset thresholds in the analysis process are set by technical personnel in this field according to actual conditions or obtained by simulating a large amount of data; the size of the weight coefficient is to quantify each parameter to obtain a specific numerical value, which is convenient for subsequent comparison. The size of the weight coefficient depends on the amount of sample data and the corresponding processing coefficient preliminarily set by technical personnel in this field for each group of sample data; as long as it does not affect the proportional relationship between the parameter and the quantized value.

[0068] The pressure levels are generated as follows:

[0069] The pressure levels include primary pressure, secondary pressure and tertiary pressure, wherein the primary pressure, secondary pressure and tertiary pressure increase in sequence, and the primary pressure, secondary pressure and tertiary pressure are all the pressures exerted by the third hydraulic cylinder 201 on the pressure plate 202;

[0070] The threshold range of the preset stability influence coefficient is Wd1, Wd2, Wd1 <Wd2;

[0071] If Wd≤Wd1, it means that the stability of the energy storage module in the bracket 102 is poor. At this time, the data analysis module generates a third-level pressure;

[0072] If Wd2≥Wd>Wd1, it indicates that the stability of the energy storage module in the bracket 102 is average. In this case, the data analysis module generates a secondary pressure.

[0073] If Wd>Wd2, it means that the stability of the energy storage module in the bracket 102 is good. At this time, the data analysis module generates a first-level pressure.

[0074] Wherein, Wd1 and Wd2 are determined by those skilled in the art according to specific application requirements.

[0075] The pressure data of the first-level pressure, second-level pressure and third-level pressure can be customized according to the specific situation, and then the data analysis module generates the corresponding pressure level control signal according to the corresponding pressure level. For example, when the pressure level is the first-level pressure, the data analysis module will generate a first-level pressure control signal, and then send the first-level pressure control signal to the controller of the third hydraulic cylinder 201, thereby controlling and adjusting the pressure of the third hydraulic cylinder 201 on the pressure plate 202, and then adjusting and controlling the pressure of the pressure plate 202 on the energy storage module.

[0076] The data acquisition module is used to collect a historical training data set of the material handling device, the historical training data set including the comprehensive impact data of squeezing and the inflation pressure of the airbag cushion 203; wherein the comprehensive impact data of squeezing includes comprehensive data information and pressure data of the third hydraulic cylinder 201 on the pressure plate 202, and the pressure data of the third hydraulic cylinder 201 on the pressure plate 202 can be measured and obtained by a pressure sensor;

[0077] The inflation pressure of the airbag cushion 203 refers to the pressure inside the airbag cushion 203. This pressure can be measured by a pressure sensor. When a greater compressive force is required, the inflation pressure of the airbag cushion 203 is increased to enhance the support and stabilization of the energy storage module, thereby improving the stability of the energy storage module. Conversely, when the required compressive force is reduced, the inflation pressure of the airbag cushion 203 can be appropriately reduced to avoid unnecessary over-compression and protect the surface of the energy storage module.

[0078] The inflation pressure prediction module trains a machine learning model to predict the inflation pressure of the airbag cushion 203 based on a historical training data set, collects real-time squeeze comprehensive impact data, and inputs the data into the trained machine learning model to predict the inflation pressure of the airbag cushion 203;

[0079] The training method of the machine learning model for predicting the inflation pressure of the airbag cushion 203 includes:

[0080] Converting the collected comprehensive extrusion impact data into a corresponding set of feature vectors;

[0081] Each set of feature vectors is used as the input of the machine learning model. The machine learning model takes the inflation pressure of the airbag cushion 203 corresponding to each set of squeeze comprehensive impact data as the output, and the inflation pressure of the airbag cushion 203 actually corresponding to each set of squeeze comprehensive impact data as the prediction target. Minimizing the loss function value of the machine learning model is used as the training goal; training is stopped when the loss function value of the machine learning model is less than or equal to the preset target loss value.

[0082] The machine learning model can be one of the models such as SVM regression, random forest regression or neural network regression.

[0083] The loss function value of the machine learning model is the mean square error;

[0084] Mean square error is one of the commonly used loss functions. Minimization is used to train the model so that the machine learning model better fits the data, thereby improving the performance and accuracy of the model;

[0085] In the loss function, MSE is the loss function value of the machine learning model, x is the feature vector group number; m is the number of feature vector groups; y x is the inflation pressure of the airbag cushion 203 predicted by the xth group of feature vectors, is the inflation pressure of the airbag cushion 203 actually corresponding to the xth group of eigenvectors;

[0086] Other model parameters of the machine learning model, target loss value, optimization algorithm, training set test set validation set ratio, and loss function optimization are all obtained through actual engineering implementation and continuous experimental tuning.

[0087] The operation of the air pump is controlled according to the predicted inflation pressure of the airbag cushion 203 ; when the pressure inside the airbag cushion 203 is the same as the predicted inflation pressure of the airbag cushion 203 , the air pump is controlled to be turned off.

[0088] To sum up, the control system can collect comprehensive data information such as the weight, volume and tilt angle of the energy storage module through the data acquisition module, use the data analysis module to generate the stability influence coefficient, and generate the corresponding pressure level based on the stability influence coefficient, thereby controlling the pressure of the third hydraulic cylinder on the pressure plate, and then controlling the pressure of the pressure plate on the energy storage module, thereby improving stability during transportation.

[0089] The control system can automatically adjust the inflation pressure of the airbag cushion based on the comprehensive data information collected in real time to adapt to energy storage modules of different weights, volumes and inclination angles, ensuring stability and safety during transportation.
