[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , 2As shown, the rapid battery cell loading mechanism of the present invention includes several parts: a loading support frame 100, a battery cell conveying line 1, a battery cell loading unit 2, a battery cell limiting unit 3, a second battery cell loading unit 4, and a second battery cell limiting unit 5; the loading support frame 100 serves as a loading support component; the battery cell conveying line 1 is disposed on the loading support frame 100 and is used to transport battery cells; the battery cell loading unit 2 is disposed on the loading support frame 100 and is located on one side of the battery cell conveying line 1, and a plurality of battery cells are disposed on the battery cell loading unit 2; the battery cell limiting unit 3 is disposed on the loading support frame 100 and limits the battery cells. Unit 3, in conjunction with cell feeding unit 2, is used to clamp and feed cells onto cell conveying line 1; Cell feeding unit 4, which is mounted on feeding support frame 100 and located on the same side as cell feeding unit 2, has several cells mounted on it, and is located behind cell feeding unit 2 along the conveying direction of cell conveying line 1; Cell limiting unit 5, which is mounted on feeding support frame 100 and in conjunction with cell feeding unit 4, is used to clamp and feed cells onto cell conveying line 1, and is located behind cell limiting unit 3 along the conveying direction of cell conveying line 1.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , 2As shown, the feeding support frame 100 is also equipped with a second battery cell conveying line 10, a third battery cell feeding unit 20, a third battery cell limiting unit 30, a fourth battery cell feeding unit 40, and a fourth battery cell limiting unit 50. The second battery cell conveying line 10 has the same structure as the first battery cell conveying line 10, the third battery cell feeding unit 20 has the same structure as the first battery cell feeding unit 20, the third battery cell limiting unit 30 has the same structure as the first battery cell limiting unit 30, and the fourth battery cell feeding unit 40 has the same structure as the first battery cell limiting unit 50. Unit 2 has the same structure as 4, and the cell limiting unit 4 has the same structure as 50 and 5. The cell conveying line 2 10 is symmetrical and parallel to the cell conveying line 1. The cell feeding unit 3 20 is symmetrical to the cell feeding unit 1 2. The cell limiting unit 3 30 is symmetrical to the cell limiting unit 1 3. The cell feeding unit 4 40 is symmetrical to the cell feeding unit 2 4. The cell limiting unit 4 50 is symmetrical to the cell limiting unit 2 5.

The second battery cell feeding unit 4 is located on the outer side of the first battery cell conveying line 1 away from the second battery cell conveying line 10. The first battery cell feeding unit 2 and the second battery cell feeding unit 4 are located on the same side. The third battery cell feeding unit 20 is located on the outer side of the second battery cell conveying line 10 away from the first battery cell conveying line 1. The fourth battery cell feeding unit 40 is located on the outer side of the second battery cell conveying line 10 away from the first battery cell conveying line 1. The fourth battery cell limiting unit 50 and the third battery cell feeding unit 20 are located on the same side. Each of the battery cell feeding units 1-2, 2-4, 3-20, and 4-40 has a row of battery cells. The battery cell feeding units 1-2, 2-4, 3-20, and 4-40 cooperate with the corresponding battery cell limiting units 1-3, 2-5, 3-30, and 4-50 to feed the battery cells onto battery cell conveyor line 1-1 or battery cell conveyor line 2-10, feeding the battery cells one by one. Cell conveyor line 1, cell loading unit 2, cell limiting unit 3, cell loading unit 4, and cell limiting unit 5 constitute one independent working unit; cell conveyor line 10, cell loading unit 20, cell limiting unit 30, cell loading unit 40, and cell limiting unit 50 constitute another independent working unit. In this way, the two independent working units load cells synchronously according to the working rhythm, thereby doubling the cell loading speed and ensuring the supply of cells in the subsequent production process.

[0035] Reference Figure 3-6As shown, the battery cell loading unit 1 (2) and battery cell loading unit 2 (4) have the same structure. Both battery cell loading unit 1 (2) and battery cell loading unit 2 (4) include a loading platform 21, a side pushing mechanism 22, and a clamping and shaping mechanism 23. The loading platform 21, the side pushing mechanism 22, and the clamping and shaping mechanism 23 are all mounted on the loading support frame 100. A row of battery cells is mounted on the loading platform 21. The side pushing mechanism 22 is used to push the battery cells on the loading platform 21, and the clamping and shaping mechanism 23 is used to arrange the battery cells on the loading platform 21 into a row. The battery cell loading units 1 (2), 2 (4), 3 (20), and 4 (40) have the same structure and are distributed at four positions in a rectangular array, taking turns loading battery cells onto battery cell conveyor line 1 (1) and battery cell conveyor line 2 (2) (10).

[0036] In the above structure, the feeding platform 21 includes several support legs 211, a battery cell support plate 212, several support legs 213, and a battery cell support plate 214. The support legs 211 are arranged in a row, the battery cell support plate 212 is fixedly mounted on the support legs 211, the support legs 213 are arranged in a row, and the battery cell support plate 214 is fixedly mounted on the support legs 213. The battery cell support plate 212 and the battery cell support plate 214 are arranged symmetrically and parallelly, and are on the same plane. A gap 215 is provided between the battery cell support plate 212 and the battery cell support plate 214. A row of battery cells is provided on the battery cell support plate 212 and the battery cell support plate 214. A column containing several support legs 211 is arranged parallel to a column containing several support legs 213, and a gap 2 is provided between the column containing the support legs 211 and the column containing the support legs 213. Gap 1 215 and gap 2 are connected, and the direction of gap 1 215 and gap 2 is set along the moving direction of the side pushing mechanism 22, so as to allow the side pushing mechanism 22 to push the battery cell in the direction of the conveyor line. Battery cell support plate 1 212 and battery cell support plate 2 214 are both rectangular plates. The two sides of the lower end of the battery cell are placed on battery cell support plate 1 212 and battery cell support plate 2 214 respectively, and the middle position of the battery cell is suspended above gap 1 215. The rectangular battery cells are neatly arranged on battery cell support plate 1 212 and battery cell support plate 2 214.

[0037] In the above structure, the side-pushing mechanism 22 includes a side-pushing linear module 221, a side-pushing support frame 222, several connecting rods 223, and a side-pushing plate 224. The lower end of the side-pushing support frame 222 is fixedly connected to the slider of the side-pushing linear module 221. The side-pushing plate 224 is connected to the upper end of the side-pushing support frame 222 through several connecting rods 223. The side-pushing linear module 221 is used to drive the side-pushing plate 224 to push the battery cells on the feeding platform 21. The side push plate 224 is perpendicular to the plane where the cell support plate 212 and the cell support plate 214 are located, and the water level of the lower end of the side push plate 224 is higher than the upper end of the cell support plate 212 and the cell support plate 214. The moving direction of the side push linear module 221 is set along the length direction of the cell support plate 212 and the cell support plate 214. When the side push linear module 221 drives the side push plate 224 to move linearly, the side push plate 224 contacts the cell closest to the side push plate 224. Then, as the side push linear module 221 moves, the side push plate 224 pushes the cells placed on the cell support plate 212 and the cell support plate 214 to move towards the conveyor line. The width of the side-push support frame 222 relative to gaps 215 and 2 is smaller than the width of gaps 215 and 2. This allows the side-push support frame 222 to enter gaps 215 and 2 when the side-push linear module 221 moves. A sensor support frame 101 is provided on the feeding support frame 100. A sensor transmitter 102 is provided on the sensor support frame 101. The sensor support frame 101 is located on one side of the starting end of the side-push linear module 221. The sensor transmitter 102 is located on the side of the side-push plate 224 away from the battery cell. A through hole 2241 is provided on the side-push plate 224, directly opposite the sensor transmitter 102, allowing the signal emitted by the sensor transmitter 102 to pass through the through hole 2241. Both the first battery cell limiting unit 3 and the second battery cell limiting unit 5 are equipped with a sensor receiving end 103. The sensor receiving end 103 and the sensor transmitting end 102 are located on the same straight line as a row of battery cells. In this way, the signal between the sensor receiving end 103 and the sensor transmitting end 102 can sense whether there are still battery cells between the first side push plate 224 and the first battery cell limiting unit 3 and the second battery cell limiting unit 5, and can be used to detect whether the battery cells on the feeding platform 21 have been completely fed.

[0038] In the above structure, the clamping and shaping mechanism 23 includes a shaping drive device 231 and two symmetrically arranged shaping push frames 232. The two symmetrically arranged shaping push frames 232 are connected to the shaping drive device 231. The two symmetrically arranged shaping push frames 232 are located on both sides of the loading platform 21. The shaping drive device 231 drives the two symmetrically arranged shaping push frames 232 to shape the battery cells on the loading platform 21 into a row. The shaping drive device 231 includes a drive motor 2311, a drive wheel 2312, a driven wheel 2313, a gear belt 2314, and a lead screw 2315. The drive motor 2311 is connected to the drive wheel 2312. The drive wheel 2312 is connected to the driven wheel 2313 via the gear belt 2314. The driven wheel 2313 is sleeved on the lead screw 2315. The lead screw 2315 has a forward thread and a reverse thread. The two symmetrically arranged shaping push frames 2 32 is connected to the forward thread and the reverse thread respectively. When the drive motor 2311 drives the lead screw 2315 to rotate through the transmission structure consisting of the drive wheel 2312, the driven wheel 2313 and the gear belt 2314, the two symmetrically arranged shaping push frames 232 can move closer or further away from each other because the threads of the forward thread and the reverse thread are opposite. When the two symmetrically arranged shaping push frames 232 move closer to each other, they clamp the battery cells on the feeding platform 21, so that the battery cells are neatly arranged in a row. The shaping push frame 232 includes several right-angle support plates 2321, a shaping horizontal push plate 2322, and a support base plate 2323. The support base plate 2323 is connected to a lead screw 2315. The shaping horizontal push plate 2322 is connected to the support base plate 2323 via several right-angle support plates 2321. The shaping horizontal push plate 2322 is located on one side of the battery cells arranged in a row on the battery cell support plate 1 212 and the battery cell support plate 214. The horizontal height of the shaping horizontal push plate 2322 is higher than the height of the battery cell support plate 1 212 and the battery cell support plate 214, and the height of the right-angle side at the upper end of the right-angle support plate 2321 is higher than that of the battery cell support plate 1 212 and the battery cell support plate 214. 4. When the drive motor 2311 rotates clockwise, it drives the lead screw 2315 to rotate. The shaping horizontal push plate 2322 is a rectangular plate. As the lead screw 2315 rotates, the shaping horizontal push plate 2322 moves horizontally towards the cells on the cell support plate 212 and the cell support plate 214. Since there are shaping horizontal push plates 2322 on both sides of the straight line where a row of cells is located, the shaping horizontal push plates 2322 push the cell support plate 212 and the cell support plate 214 towards the middle from both sides. Finally, the cells on the cell support plate 212 and the cell support plate 214 are limited between the shaping horizontal push plates 2322 on both sides, thus forming a neat row of cells.The feeding support frame 100 is provided with a linear guide rail 104, which is perpendicular to the cell support plate 212 and the cell support plate 214. A slider 2324 is connected to the support base plate 2323, and the slider 2324 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 104.

[0039] Reference Figure 7 As shown, the battery cell limiting unit 3 includes a limiting support frame 31, a linear guide rail 32, a limiting drive cylinder 33, a limiting moving frame 34, a limiting push plate 35, and a slider 36. The limiting support frame 31 is fixedly mounted on the feeding support frame 100. The linear guide rail 32 and the limiting drive cylinder 33 are both mounted on the limiting support frame 31. The limiting drive cylinder 33 is connected to the limiting moving frame 34. The lower end of the limiting moving frame 34 is connected to the slider 36. The slider 36 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 32. The limiting push plate 35 is fixedly connected to the limiting moving frame 34. The limiting push plate 35 and the battery cell on the feeding platform 21 are on the same straight line. The limiting push plate 35 and the side push plate 224 are located at both ends of a row of battery cells. The limiting push plate 35 is located above the battery cell conveying line 1. The limiting drive cylinder 33 pushes the limiting push plate 35 closer to the battery cells on the battery cell support plate 212 and the second battery cell support plate 214. At this time, the limiting push plate 35 is suspended above the battery cell conveying line 1. Then, the side push linear module 221 pushes the side push plate 224 towards the limiting push plate 35 until the end of the battery cell is close to the limiting push plate 35. After that, the battery cells on the battery cell support plate 212 and the second battery cell support plate 214 are limited between the limiting push plate 35 and the side push plate 224. In the design, the battery cell support plate 212 and the second battery cell support plate 214 are... The upper end of the device is 5mm higher than the conveyor belt of the cell conveyor line 1. The side push linear module 221 and the limit drive cylinder 33 move together, driving the cells clamped between the limit push plate 35 and the side push plate 224 to move onto the cell conveyor line 1. This causes the cells in contact with the limit push plate 35 to be suspended above the cell conveyor line 1, while ensuring that the cells adjacent to these suspended cells remain on the cell support plate 212 and the second cell support plate 214. Then, the limit drive cylinder 33 retracts, causing the limit push plate 35 to separate from the cells. Due to the loss of the limiting push force from the limit push plate 35, the cells suspended above the cell conveyor line 1 fall onto the cell conveyor line 1 and move forward with the cell conveyor line 1. According to the working rhythm, the above process is repeated, continuously conveying the cells on the cell support plate 212 and the second cell support plate 214 one by one onto the cell conveyor line 1.

[0040] Reference Figure 8As shown, the second battery cell limiting unit 5 includes a limiting support frame 51, a linear guide rail 52, a limiting drive cylinder 53, a limiting moving frame 54, a limiting push plate 55, a slider 56, a vertical support plate 57, a linear guide rail 58, a slider 59, and a vertical drive cylinder 510. The limiting support frame 51 is fixedly mounted on the feeding support frame 100. The linear guide rail 52 and the limiting drive cylinder 53 are mounted on the limiting support frame 51. The limiting drive cylinder 53 and the limiting moving frame 54 are mounted on the limiting support frame 51. The second frame 54 is connected, and the lower end of the second limiting moving frame 54 is connected to the third slider 56. The second slider 56 is slidably connected to the third linear guide rail 52. The first vertical support plate 57 is vertically set on the second limiting moving frame 54. The first vertical drive cylinder 510 and the fourth slider 59 are set on the first vertical support plate 57, and the piston rod of the first vertical drive cylinder 510 is connected to the second limiting push plate 55. The second limiting push plate 55 is connected to the fourth linear guide rail 58, and the fourth linear guide rail 58 is slidably connected to the fourth slider 59. The working principle of the second cell limiting unit is similar to that of the first cell limiting unit 3, except that a vertical drive part is added. The second limiting drive cylinder 53 drives the second limiting push plate 55 to move closer to or away from the limit. The added vertical drive cylinder 510 can drive the second limiting push plate 55 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the second limiting push plate 55 and avoiding the cells transported on the first cell conveyor line 1. When the battery cell feeding unit 12 is feeding, the vertical drive cylinder 510 drives the limit push plate 2 55 to rise, and the height of the limit push plate 2 55 is higher than the height of the battery cell on the battery cell conveying line 1. This ensures that the battery cells conveyed by the battery cell conveying line 1 are conveyed sequentially. After the battery cell feeding unit 12 finishes feeding, it is ready for use. When the battery cell feeding unit 24 is working, the vertical drive cylinder 510 drives the limit push plate 2 55 to fall, so that the limit push plate 2 55 and the battery cell on the battery cell feeding unit 24 are at the same horizontal height. The limit drive cylinder 2 53 pushes the limit push plate 2 55 to limit the battery cell.

[0041] Reference Figure 9-12 As shown, the battery cell conveying line 1 includes a conveyor belt body 11, a fixed limiting bar 12, a movable limiting bar 13, and a limiting bar driving device 14. The fixed limiting bar 12 and the movable limiting bar 13 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt body 11 in the direction of movement, and the movable limiting bar 13 and the limiting bar driving device 14 are connected. The limiting bar driving device 14 drives the movable limiting bar 13 to move closer to or away from the fixed limiting bar 12. The upper surface of the battery cell support plate 1 212 and the battery cell support plate 2 214 is higher than the conveyor belt body 115 mm. Therefore, the battery cells in contact with the limiting pushing plate 35 between the side push plate 1 224 and the limiting push plate 35 are suspended above the conveyor belt body 11. When the pressure between the side push plate 1 224 and the limiting push plate 35 is released, the battery cells in contact with the limiting push plate 35 will fall onto the conveyor belt body 11.

[0042] Reference Figure 9-12 As shown, the limiting bar driving device 14 includes a moving drive motor 141, a second driving wheel 142, a second driven wheel 143, a second belt 144, a rotating shaft 145, a transmission gear 146, and a moving rack 147. The moving drive motor 141 is connected to the second driving wheel 142. The second driving wheel 142 is connected to the second driven wheel 143 via the second belt 144. The second driven wheel 143 is connected to the rotating shaft 145. The transmission gear 146 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 145. The transmission gear 146 meshes with the moving rack 147. The moving rack 147 is connected to the moving limiting bar 13. The transmission gears 146 are arranged in a plurality of manner, and the plurality of transmission gears 146 are sequentially arranged on the rotating shaft 145. Each transmission gear 146 corresponds to a movable rack 147. Thus, the rotating shaft 145 has a plurality of movable racks 147 arranged along the axial direction. The plurality of transmission gears 146 are synchronously driven by a single rotating shaft 145, thereby driving the plurality of movable racks 147 to move. This causes the movable limiting bar 13 to move above the conveyor belt body 11, thereby adjusting the movable limiting bar 13 to a suitable position with the fixed limiting bar 12. This ensures that there is a moving width between the fixed limiting bar 12 and the movable limiting bar 13, which is suitable for the battery cell to pass between the fixed limiting bar 12 and the movable limiting bar 13.

However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
