Description

Technical Field

[0002] An electrolyte is a liquid medium that can conduct electric current in an electrochemical reaction, usually composed of a solute (such as salt, acid, or base) dissolved in a solvent (such as water or other organic solvents). Electrolytes have a wide range of applications in fields such as batteries, fuel cells, electroplating, and corrosion protection. During the production process, it is usually necessary to fill electrolytes into ton barrels.

Moreover, driven by the first driver 12 and the second driver 16, after the driven sealing assembly 23 and the active sealing assembly 33 are docked, the driven sealing assembly 23 and the active sealing assembly 33 can be connected, so that the electrolyte can be filled into the ton barrel 22 from the active sealing assembly 33 and the driven sealing assembly 23. Compared with the related technology, the electrolyte and the transportation channel are in a sealed state throughout the process, greatly reducing the situation of electrolyte contamination and effectively ensuring the purity of the electrolyte.

[0053] Optionally, the first driver 12 is set as a roller guide rail.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the driven sealing assembly 23 includes a driven docking cylinder 231, a plurality of driven mounting cylinders 232, a plurality of driven mounting plates 233 and a plurality of driven seals 234. The driven docking cylinder 231 is installed at the filling port of the ton barrel 22 and is axially through. The plurality of driven mounting cylinders 232 are all connected to the outer peripheral side of the driven docking cylinder 231 and are all communicated with the driven docking cylinder 231. The plurality of driven mounting plates 233 are respectively detachably installed at one end of the plurality of driven mounting cylinders 232 away from the driven docking cylinder 231. The plurality of driven seals 234 are respectively installed in the plurality of driven mounting cylinders 232 and are configured to be able to move radially towards each other along the driven docking cylinder 231 to seal the driven docking cylinder 231.

[0056] The active sealing assembly 33 includes an active docking cylinder 331, a plurality of active mounting cylinders 332, a plurality of active mounting plates 333, a plurality of active seals 334, a first connecting cylinder 335, a second connecting cylinder 336, a third driver 337, and an internal filling member 338. The active docking cylinder 331 is axially through. The plurality of active mounting cylinders 332 are all connected to the outer peripheral side of the active docking cylinder 331 and are all in communication with the active docking cylinder 331. The plurality of active mounting plates 333 are respectively detachably mounted at one end of the plurality of active mounting cylinders 332 away from the active docking cylinder 331. The plurality of active seals 334 are respectively mounted in the plurality of active mounting cylinders 332 and are configured to be able to move towards each other along the radial direction of the active docking cylinder 331 to seal the active docking cylinder 331, and are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of driven seals 234, and are also configured to be able to drive the plurality of driven seals 234 to expand away from each other. The first connecting cylinder 335 is mounted at one end of the active docking cylinder 331 away from the driven docking cylinder 231. The second connecting cylinder 336 is mounted between the switching valve 32 and the first connecting cylinder 335. The third driver 337 is mounted on the outer peripheral side of the second connecting cylinder 336. The internal filling member 338 is mounted at the output end of the third driver 337 and is located in the first connecting cylinder 335 and the second connecting cylinder 336, and moves along the second direction under the drive of the third driver 337, and is also configured to be able to drive the plurality of active seals 334 to expand away from each other.

[0057] It should be noted here that the axial directions above and below refer to the two-way directions of the central axis defined by the structures of the driven docking cylinder 231 and the active docking cylinder 331 themselves. The radial directions above and below refer to the two-way directions perpendicular to the central axis defined by the structures of the driven docking cylinder 231 and the active docking cylinder 331 themselves.

[0058] It should also be noted here that in this embodiment, the number of the driven mounting cylinders 232 is set to four as an example for illustration. Of course, in other embodiments, according to actual application requirements, the number of the driven mounting cylinders 232 can also be set to other numbers such as two, three, five... Among them, the numbers of the driven mounting plates 233, the driven seals 234, the active mounting cylinders 332, the active mounting plates 333, and the active seals 334 are all the same as the number of the driven mounting cylinders 232.

[0059] With such a setting, after the plurality of driven seals 234 are radially gathered towards each other, the driven docking cylinder 231 can be sealed to prevent impurities in the external environment from entering the ton barrel 22 through the driven docking cylinder 231.

[0060] After multiple active seals 334 gather radially towards each other, they can seal the active docking cylinder 331 to prevent impurities in the external environment from entering the first connection cylinder 335 and the second connection cylinder 336 through the active docking cylinder 331.

[0061] Driven by the first driver 12 and the second driver 16, after the driven docking cylinder 231 and the active docking cylinder 331 are docked, through the third driver 337 and the internal filling member 338, when the internal filling member 338 moves towards the ton barrel 22 in the second direction, the multiple active seals 334 expand away from each other, and the multiple active seals 334 drive the multiple driven seals 234 to expand away from each other, so that the internal filling member 338 can extend into the driven docking cylinder 231. Under the action of the driven docking cylinder 231 and the active docking cylinder 331, the internal filling member 338 can be separated from the external environment, so that the electrolyte can be filled into the ton barrel 22 in a sealed state, effectively ensuring the purity of the electrolyte.

[0062] Under the action of the first connection cylinder 335 and the second connection cylinder 336, it can be used to connect the switch valve 32 and the active docking cylinder 331, and can provide a moving space for the internal filling member 338 to move in the second direction.

[0063] Through the driven mounting cylinder 232, the driven seal 234 can be guided, which helps to improve the moving stability of the driven seal 234 in the radial direction of the driven docking cylinder 231 and prevent the driven seal 234 from getting stuck. Through the active mounting cylinder 332, the active seal 334 can be guided, which helps to improve the moving stability of the active seal 334 in the radial direction of the active docking cylinder 331 and prevent the active seal 334 from getting stuck.

[0064] Through the driven mounting plate 233, the driven mounting cylinder 232 can be sealed to prevent impurities in the external environment from entering the driven docking cylinder 231 through the driven mounting cylinder 232. Through the active mounting cylinder 332, the active mounting cylinder 332 can be sealed to prevent impurities in the external environment from entering the active docking cylinder 331 through the active mounting cylinder 332.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the driven seal 234 includes a driven seal block 2341 and a clamping groove 2342. The driven seal block 2341 is movably installed in the driven mounting cylinder 232, and the clamping groove 2342 is opened on the driven seal block 2341.

[0066] The active seal 334 includes an active seal block 3341, a guiding surface 3342, and a clamping rod 3343. The active seal block 3341 is movably installed in the active installation cylinder 332. The guiding surface 3342 is formed on the active seal block 3341 and is configured to guide the active seal block 3341 to move radially along the active docking cylinder 331 through the internal filling member 338. The clamping rod 3343 is connected to the active seal block 3341 and is configured to be clamped in the clamping groove 2342 after the passive seal assembly 23 and the active seal assembly 33 are docked.

[0067] With such a setting, when the internal filling member 338 moves towards the ton barrel 22 in the second direction, through the guiding surface 3342, it can drive multiple active seal blocks 3341 to expand away from each other. Under the action of multiple clamping rods 3343 and multiple clamping grooves 2342, multiple active seal blocks 3341 can drive multiple passive seal blocks 2341 to expand away from each other, so that the internal filling member 338 can extend from the active docking cylinder 331 into the passive docking cylinder 231.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figures 1 to 10 , the passive seal 234 further includes multiple passive rods 2343 and multiple passive elastic structures 2344. Multiple passive rods 2343 are all connected to the passive seal block 2341 and all pass through the passive mounting plate 233. Multiple passive elastic structures 2344 are respectively sleeved on multiple passive rods 2343 and all abut between the passive mounting plate 233 and the passive seal block 2341.

[0069] The active seal 334 further includes multiple active rods 3344, multiple active elastic structures 3345, and a guiding rod 3346. Multiple active rods 3344 are all connected to the active seal block 3341 and all pass through the active mounting plate 333. Multiple active elastic structures 3345 are respectively sleeved on multiple active rods 3344 and all abut between the active mounting plate 333 and the active seal block 3341. The guiding rod 3346 is connected to the clamping rod 3343 and passes through the active docking cylinder 331.

[0070] Specifically, in the related art, after the electrolyte is filled, some electrolyte remains on the inner wall of the pipeline, there is a risk of falling, which is likely to damage the instrument, and even easily fall onto the surface of the staff, posing a great safety hazard.

[0071] With such a setting, after the filling is completed, the third driver 337 drives the internal filling member 338 to retract into the first connecting cylinder 335. Under the action of multiple driven elastic structures 2344, multiple driven sealing blocks 2341 can automatically reset, and can reseal the driven docking cylinder 231 again. Under the action of multiple driving elastic structures 3345, multiple driving sealing blocks 3341 can automatically reset, and can reseal the driving docking cylinder 331 again. The degree of automation is high, which helps to improve the convenience of using the device.

[0072] Through multiple driven rods 2343, the multiple driven elastic structures 2344 can be limited, so that the multiple driven elastic structures 2344 can only expand and contract along the radial direction of the driven docking cylinder 231, avoiding the situation that the driven elastic structures 2344 fail due to loosening between the driven sealing blocks 2341 and the driven mounting plate 233. Through multiple driving rods 3344, the multiple driving elastic structures 3345 can be limited, so that the multiple driving elastic structures 3345 can only expand and contract along the radial direction of the driving docking cylinder 331, avoiding the situation that the driving elastic structures 3345 fail due to loosening between the driving sealing blocks 3341 and the driving mounting plate 333. Moreover, with the cooperation of the multiple driven rods 2343 and the driven mounting plate 233, the driven sealing blocks 2341 can be guided, which helps to improve the moving stability of the driven sealing blocks 2341 in the driven mounting cylinder 232 and avoid the driven sealing blocks 2341 being stuck in the driven mounting cylinder 232. With the cooperation of the multiple driving rods 3344 and the driving mounting plate 333, the driving sealing blocks 3341 can be guided, which helps to improve the moving stability of the driving sealing blocks 3341 in the driving mounting cylinder 332 and avoid the driving sealing blocks 3341 being stuck in the driving mounting cylinder 332.

[0073] After the filling is completed, the multiple driving sealing blocks 3341 gather towards each other. Compared with the related art, it can prevent the electrolyte from dripping from the driving docking cylinder 331 onto the surface of the staff or the instrument, and has high safety performance.

[0074] Optionally, both the driven elastic structure 2344 and the driving elastic structure 3345 are set as springs.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the driven sealing assembly 23 further includes multiple driven linear bearings 2345. The multiple driven linear bearings 2345 are all installed on the side of the driven mounting plate 233 facing away from the driven mounting cylinder 232, and are respectively sleeved on the outer peripheries of the multiple driven rods 2343, and are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple driven rods 2343.

[0076] The active sealing assembly 33 further includes a plurality of active linear bearings 3347.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the internal filling member 338 includes a filling pipe 3381, a sealing cylinder 3382, a plurality of sealing rings 3383, a connecting frame 3384 and a connecting rod 3385. The filling pipe 3381 is arranged in the first connecting cylinder 335. The sealing cylinder 3382 is connected to one end of the filling pipe 3381 close to the third driver 337 and is arranged in the first connecting cylinder 335. The plurality of sealing rings 3383 are all installed on the outer peripheral side of the sealing cylinder 3382. The connecting frame 3384 is installed at one end of the sealing cylinder 3382 away from the filling pipe 3381. The connecting rod 3385 is installed between the connecting frame 3384 and the third driver 337.

[0079] With such an arrangement, under the action of the sealing cylinder 3382 and the plurality of sealing rings 3383, the gap between the filling pipe 3381 and the first connecting cylinder 335 can be sealed, preventing the electrolyte from directly overflowing from the gap between the filling pipe 3381 and the first connecting cylinder 335 into the active docking cylinder 331 and causing the electrolyte to leak to the external environment, and the sealing effect is good.

[0080] Under the action of the connecting frame 3384 and the connecting rod 3385, it is convenient for the third driver 337 to drive the filling pipe 3381 to move in the second direction. Moreover, through the connecting frame 3384, while achieving transmission, the electrolyte can be avoided, which is convenient for the electrolyte to enter the filling pipe 3381.

[0081] Optionally, the third driver 337 is set as a cylinder.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present application, refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the active sealing assembly 33 further includes a guide frame 339. The guide frame 339 is connected to the inner wall of the first connecting cylinder 335 and is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the filling pipe 3381.

[0083] With such a setting, when the third driver 337 drives the filling pipe 3381 to move in the second direction, the guiding frame 339 can guide the filling pipe 3381, which helps to improve the moving stability of the filling pipe 3381 in the second direction.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the accommodating mechanism 2 further includes a first positioning groove 24 and a second positioning groove 25. Both the first positioning groove 24 and the second positioning groove 25 are formed in the barrel rack 21 and are arranged crosswise.

[0085] The placing assembly 15 includes a placing plate 151, a first positioning strip 152, and a second positioning strip 153. The placing plate 151 is installed on the mounting plate 13. The first positioning strip 152 is installed on the placing plate 151 and is clamped in the first positioning groove 24. The second positioning strip 153 is installed on the placing plate 151 and is clamped in the second positioning groove 25.

[0086] With such a setting, under the action of the first positioning groove 24, the second positioning groove 25, the first positioning strip 152, and the second positioning strip 153, the barrel rack 21 can be positioned. When placing the barrel rack 21, the placing position of the barrel rack 21 can be unified. When docking the driven docking cylinder 231 to the active docking cylinder 331, it is convenient for multiple clamping rods 3343 to accurately clamp into multiple clamping grooves 2342, avoiding the situation where the clamping rod 3343 cannot be clamped into the clamping groove 2342. Moreover, under the action of the first positioning groove 24, the second positioning groove 25, the first positioning strip 152, and the second positioning strip 153, it helps to improve the structural stability between the ton barrel 22 and the placing plate 151, so that the ton barrel 22 is not prone to shaking during the moving process.

[0087] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 10 together, the placing assembly 15 further includes a plurality of sliding rods 154. The plurality of sliding rods 154 are all connected to the placing plate 151 and all pass through the mounting plate 13.

[0088] With such a setting, when the second driver 16 drives the placing plate 151 to move in the second direction, through the plurality of sliding rods 154, it helps to improve the moving stability of the placing plate 151 in the second direction, thereby helping to improve the moving stability of the barrel rack 21 and the ton barrel 22 in the second direction, and preventing the barrel rack 21 and the ton barrel 22 from shaking during the moving process.

[0089] In an embodiment of the present application, refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the transportation mechanism 1, the accommodating mechanism 2, and the filling mechanism 3 are all provided in multiple numbers.

[0090] The automatic electrolyte filling device further includes a delivery pipe 4. The delivery pipe 4 is connected to one end of a plurality of liquid inlet pipes 31 far away from the switch valve 32 and is communicated with the liquid inlet pipes 31.

[0091] Specifically, during the actual filling process, when one of the ton barrels 22 is being filled, the other ton barrel 22 has to wait until the filling is completed before it can be filled with the electrolyte, resulting in low filling efficiency.

[0092] With such a setting, the transportation mechanism 1, the accommodation mechanism 2, and the filling mechanism 3 are all set to be multiple. With the cooperation of the delivery pipe 4, the electrolyte can be filled into multiple ton barrels 22 simultaneously, greatly improving the filling efficiency.

[0093] The working principle of the automatic electrolyte filling device provided by this application is as follows: First, the staff transports the barrel rack 21 together with the ton barrel 22 to the position of the base 11 by forklift, and then aligns the first positioning groove 24 and the second positioning groove 25 on the barrel rack 21 with the first positioning strip 152 and the second positioning strip 153 on the placement plate 151. After placing the barrel rack 21 and the ton barrel 22 on the placement plate 151, the first driver 12 drives the placement plate 151, the barrel rack 21 and the ton barrel 22 to move in the first direction through the mounting plate 13 until the placement plate 151, the barrel rack 21 and the ton barrel 22 move above the second driver 16. The output end of the second driver 16 passes through the avoidance hole 14 to lift the placement plate 151, the barrel rack 21 and the ton barrel 22, and the driven sealing assembly 23 moves along the second direction towards the active sealing assembly 33 following the ton barrel 22 until the clamping rod 3343 on the active sealing block 3341 is clamped in the clamping groove 2342 of the driven sealing block 2341. The third driver 337 drives the sealing cylinder 3382 and the filling pipe 3381 to move along the second direction towards the active sealing block 3341 through the connecting rod 3385 and the connecting frame 3384 until the end of the filling pipe 3381 close to the active sealing block 3341 contacts the guiding surface 3342 on the active sealing block 3341. Under the action of the guiding surface 3342, the filling pipe 3381 drives multiple active sealing blocks 3341 to expand radially away from each other. At the same time, under the action of multiple clamping rods 3343, multiple driven sealing blocks 2341 all expand radially away from each other. The third driver 337 drives the filling pipe 3381 to move towards the ton barrel 22 along the second direction until the filling pipe 3381 extends into the driven docking cylinder 231. The switch valve 32 is started, and the electrolyte in the liquid inlet pipe 31 is sequentially transported to the ton barrel 22 through the switch valve 32, the second connecting cylinder 336, the first connecting cylinder 335 and the filling pipe 3381 until the electrolyte filling is completed, and then the switch valve 32 is closed. The third driver 337 drives the filling pipe 3381 to move away from the ton barrel 22 along the second direction until the filling pipe 3381 moves to the side of multiple active sealing blocks 3341 away from the driven sealing blocks 2341. Under the action of multiple driven elastic structures 2344, multiple driven sealing blocks 2341 gather towards each other radially. Under the action of multiple active elastic structures 3345, multiple active sealing blocks 3341 gather towards each other radially. The second driver 16 drives the placement plate 151, the barrel rack 21 and the ton barrel 22 to move away from the active sealing assembly 33 along the second direction to separate the driven sealing assembly 23 from the active sealing assembly 33. The first driver 12 drives the placement plate 151, the barrel rack 21 and the ton barrel 22 to move to the blanking station on the base 11.

[0094] One or more embodiments in the present application are intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications, and variations that fall within the broad scope of the present application. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of one or more embodiments in the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
