Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery production, and specifically relates to a battery receiving mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Currently, a fully automatic casing machine is usually used to insert a battery cell into a casing to form a lithium battery.

[0003] The battery receiving mechanism of the existing fully automatic casing machine generally includes two relatively arranged support plates, a driving component, and a tray platform. The driving component is arranged between the two support plates. The tray platform is slidably arranged at the tops of the two support plates and is connected to the driving component. The driving component is used to drive the tray platform to move in the direction close to one end of the two support plates or in the direction close to the other end of the two support plates. The tray platform is used to install trays. In actual application, first, an empty tray is installed on the tray platform, and then the driving component drives the tray platform and the empty tray to move in the direction close to one end of the two support plates, so that the tray platform and the empty tray are located at the loading position. At this time, the tray platform and the empty tray are close to the material-grabbing and tray-loading manipulator of the fully automatic casing machine. Then, the lithium battery on the unloading conveyor line of the fully automatic casing machine is placed in the placement groove of the tray through the material-grabbing and tray-loading manipulator until all the placement grooves of the tray are filled with lithium batteries. Thus, the loading is completed. Then, the driving component drives the tray platform and the tray filled with lithium batteries to move in the direction close to the other end of the two support plates, so that the tray platform and the tray filled with lithium batteries are located at the unloading position. Then, the tray filled with lithium batteries on the tray platform is removed manually and an empty tray is installed on the tray platform. Thus, the unloading is completed. Then, the foregoing steps are repeated. In this way, the unloading and tray-loading of the lithium batteries on the unloading conveyor line can be achieved.

[0004] In the above structure, since there is only one tray platform, when the tray platform drives the tray filled with lithium batteries to move to the unloading position for unloading, the material-grabbing and tray-loading manipulator is in a waiting state, resulting in the inability to continuously perform the unloading and tray-loading of lithium batteries, reducing the production efficiency and increasing the production cost.

The first placement position is provided with a first slot 31, and the first slot 31 extends to the bottom end of the first tray platform 30. The first slot 31 is used for plugging and matching with the plugging portion 102 at the bottom end of the tray 100. The top end of the second tray platform 40 has a second placement position for placing the tray 100. The second placement position corresponds to the first placement position. The second placement position is provided with a second slot 41 corresponding to the first slot 31. The second slot 41 extends to the bottom end of the second tray platform 40. The second slot 41 is used for plugging and matching with the plugging portion 102 at the bottom end of the tray 100.

[0033] Two first positioning blocks 32 are respectively provided at two corners of the first placement position, that is, the front right corner and the rear right corner. The first positioning blocks 32 are provided with first grooves 321. The first grooves 321 of the two first positioning blocks 32 are respectively used for matching with two corners of the tray 100. On one side of the first placement position of the top end of the first tray platform 30, for example, on the left side of the first placement position, a first push-pull type quick clamp 33 is provided. The piston rod 331 of the first push-pull type quick clamp 33 faces the first placement position and is opposite to the space between the two first positioning blocks 32. Two second positioning blocks 42 are respectively provided at two corners of the second placement position, that is, the front right corner and the rear right corner. The second positioning blocks 42 are provided with second grooves 421. The second grooves 421 of the two second positioning blocks 42 are used for matching with two corners of the tray 100. On one side of the second placement position of the top end of the second tray platform 40, for example, on the left side of the second placement position, a second push-pull type quick clamp 43 is provided. The second push-pull type quick clamp 43 corresponds to the first push-pull type quick clamp 33. The piston rod 431 of the second push-pull type quick clamp 43 faces the second placement position and is opposite to the space between the two second positioning blocks 42. The first push-pull type quick clamp 33 and the second push-pull type quick clamp 43 have the same structure and are existing structures, which will not be elaborated here.

[0034] In this embodiment, the plug-in parts 102 of the tray 100 are four, so the first slots 31 and the second slots 41 are respectively four. Two of the first slots 31 are located on the front side of the first placement position and the two first slots 31 are arranged at intervals left and right. The other two first slots 31 are located on the rear side of the first placement position and the two first slots 31 are arranged at intervals left and right. Two of the second slots 41 are located on the front side of the second placement position and the two second slots 41 are arranged at intervals left and right. The other two second slots 41 are located on the rear side of the second placement position and the two second slots 41 are arranged at intervals left and right.

[0035] When installing the tray 100 on the first tray platform 30, first place the tray 100 on the first placement position, and insert the plug-in parts 102 of the tray 100 into the first slots 31, and make two of the corners of the tray 100 cooperate with the first grooves 321 of the two first positioning blocks 32 respectively. At this time, the piston rod 331 of the first push-pull type quick clamp 33 faces the tray 100. Then rotate the hand push handle 332 of the first push-pull type quick clamp 33 until the end of the piston rod 331 of the first push-pull type quick clamp 33 abuts against the tray 100, so as to fix the tray 100 on the first tray platform 30. In this way, the tray 100 is installed on the first tray platform 30. When it is necessary to remove the tray 100 from the first tray platform 30, first rotate the hand push handle 332 of the first push-pull type quick clamp 33 to separate the end of the piston rod 331 of the first push-pull type quick clamp 33 from the tray 100. Then hold the protruding part 103 of the tray 100 and pull up the tray 100 to separate the plug-in parts 102 of the tray 100 from the first slots 31. In this way, the tray 100 is removed from the first tray platform 30. The steps of installing the tray 100 on the second tray platform 40 are the same as the steps of installing the tray 100 on the first tray platform 30 and will not be described in detail here. The steps of removing the tray 100 from the second tray platform 40 are the same as the steps of removing the tray 100 from the first tray platform 30 and will not be described in detail here. The two first positioning blocks 32 and the two second positioning blocks 42 provided play a positioning role in the installation of the tray 100. The first push-pull type quick clamp 33 and the second push-pull type quick clamp 43 provided can fix the tray 100 on the corresponding tray platform to prevent the tray 100 from shifting during the movement of the tray platform.

[0051] With the above structure, in actual application, in the initial state, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the first tray platform 30 is close to the material-grabbing and tray-loading manipulator of the fully automatic casing machine. At this time, the first tray platform 30 is in the loading position, the second tray platform 40 is in the unloading position, the cam bearing 62 is located within the other end of the first horizontal section 6311 of the cam groove 631, the first tray platform 30 and the second tray platform 40 have the same height and are at the highest position. First, two empty trays 100 are respectively installed on the first tray platform 30 and the second tray platform 40.

[0052] Then, the lithium battery 200 on the blanking conveyor line of the full-automatic casing machine is placed in the placement groove 101 of the tray 100 on the first tray platform 30 by the material-grabbing and tray-loading manipulator. After lithium batteries 200 are placed in all the placement grooves 101 of the tray 100, the driving assembly 20 drives the first tray platform 30 and the tray 100 on the first tray platform 30 to move backward, and the second tray platform 40 and the tray 100 on the second tray platform 40 to move forward. During the backward movement of the first tray platform 30 and the tray 100 on the first tray platform 30, the first tray platform 30 can drive the connecting rod 61 to move synchronously. The connecting rod 61 can drive the cam bearing 62 to first move along the first horizontal section 6311, and then enter the first inclined section 6314 and move along the first inclined section 6314. Since the cam bearing 62 gradually moves downward in the first inclined section 6314, the cam bearing 62 can drive the connecting rod 61, the first tray platform 30 and the tray 100 on the first tray platform 30 to move downward. The downward movement of the first tray platform 30 can drive the guide post 51 to move downward relative to the support plate 50. Then, the cam bearing 62 enters the second horizontal section 6312 and moves along the second horizontal section 6312. At this time, the first tray platform 30 and the tray 100 on the first tray platform 30 are at the lowest position. When the cam bearing 62 is at the middle position in the second horizontal section 6312, the second tray platform 40 and the tray 100 on the second tray platform 40 are located above the first tray platform 30 and the tray 100 on the first tray platform 30. Then, the cam bearing 62 enters the second inclined section 6315 and moves along the second inclined section 6315. Since the cam bearing 62 gradually moves upward in the second inclined section 6315, the cam bearing 62 can drive the connecting rod 61, the first tray platform 30 and the tray 100 on the first tray platform 30 to move upward. The upward movement of the first tray platform 30 can drive the guide post 51 to move upward relative to the support plate 50. Then, the cam bearing 62 enters the third horizontal section 6313 and moves along the third horizontal section 6313. At this time, the first tray platform 30 and the tray 100 on the first tray platform 30 are at the highest position. When the cam bearing 62 is at the other end of the third horizontal section 6313, the first tray platform 30 and the tray 100 on the first tray platform 30 are located at the initial position of the second tray platform 40, that is, the first tray platform 30 and the tray 100 on the first tray platform 30 are located at the blanking position, and at the same time, the second tray platform 40 and the tray 100 on the second tray platform 40 are located at the initial position of the first tray platform 30, that is, the second tray platform 40 and the tray 100 on the second tray platform 40 are located at the loading position. Then, the lithium battery 200 on the blanking conveyor line is placed in the placement groove 101 of the tray 100 on the second tray platform 40 by the material-grabbing and tray-loading manipulator. At the same time,Remove the tray 100 filled with lithium batteries 200 from the first tray platform 30 and install the empty tray 100 on the first tray platform 30.,

[0053] After all the placement slots 101 of the tray 100 on the second tray platform 40 are filled with lithium batteries 200, the driving assembly 20 drives the first tray platform 30 and the empty tray 100 on the first tray platform 30 to move forward, and the second tray platform 40 and the tray 100 filled with lithium batteries 200 on the second tray platform 40 to move backward. During the forward movement of the first tray platform 30 and the empty tray 100 on the first tray platform 30, the first tray platform 30 can drive the connecting rod 61 to move synchronously. The connecting rod 61 can drive the cam bearing 62 to first move along the third horizontal section 6313, and then enter the second inclined section 6315 and move along the second inclined section 6315. Since the cam bearing 62 gradually moves downward in the second inclined section 6315, the cam bearing 62 can drive the connecting rod 61, the first tray platform 30 and the empty tray 100 on the first tray platform 30 to move downward. The downward movement of the first tray platform 30 can drive the guide post 51 to move downward relative to the support plate 50. Then the cam bearing 62 enters the second horizontal section 6312 and moves along the second horizontal section 6312. At this time, the first tray platform 30 and the empty tray 100 on the first tray platform 30 are at the lowest position. When the cam bearing 62 is at the middle position in the second horizontal section 6312, the second tray platform 40 and the tray 100 filled with lithium batteries 200 on the second tray platform 40 are located above the first tray platform 30 and the empty tray 100 on the first tray platform 30. Then the cam bearing 62 enters the first inclined section 6314 and moves along the first inclined section 6314. Since the cam bearing 62 gradually moves upward in the first inclined section 6314, the cam bearing 62 can drive the connecting rod 61, the first tray platform 30 and the empty tray 100 on the first tray platform 30 to move upward. The upward movement of the first tray platform 30 can drive the guide post 51 to move upward relative to the support plate 50. Then the cam bearing 62 enters the first horizontal section 6311 and moves along the first horizontal section 6311. At this time, the first tray platform 30 and the empty tray 100 on the first tray platform 30 are at the highest position. When the cam bearing 62 is at the other end of the first horizontal section 6311, the first tray platform 30 and the empty tray 100 on the first tray platform 30 return to the initial position, that is, the loading position. At the same time, the second tray platform 40 and the tray 100 filled with lithium batteries 200 on the second tray platform 40 return to the initial position, that is, the unloading position. Then, the lithium battery 200 on the unloading conveyor line is placed in the placement slot 101 of the empty tray 100 on the first tray platform 30 by the material grabbing and tray loading manipulator. At the same time, the tray 100 filled with lithium batteries 200 on the second tray platform 40 is removed from the second tray platform 40, and the empty tray 100 is installed on the second tray platform 40.

[0054] Repeat the above steps to achieve the blanking and tray loading of the lithium batteries 200 on the blanking conveyor line.

[0055] In the present invention, by providing the driving assembly 20, the first tray platform 30, the second tray platform 40 and the support plate 50, the driving assembly 20 can drive the first tray platform 30 and the second tray platform 40 to move towards the other ends close to the two support plates 10 and towards the ends close to the two support plates 10 respectively, or move towards the ends close to the two support plates 10 and towards the other ends close to the two support plates 10 respectively. During operation, after the lithium batteries 200 on the blanking conveyor line are placed in all the placement slots 101 of the empty tray 100 on the first tray platform 30 by the material-grabbing and tray-loading manipulator, the driving assembly 20 can drive the first tray platform 30 and the tray 100 filled with lithium batteries 200 thereon to move to the blanking position and the second tray platform 40 and the empty tray 100 thereon to move to the loading position. At this time, the material-grabbing and tray-loading manipulator can continue to place the lithium batteries 200 on the blanking conveyor line in the placement slots 101 of the empty tray 100 on the second tray platform 40, and at the same time, the tray 100 filled with lithium batteries 200 on the first tray platform 30 can be detached from the first tray platform 30 and an empty tray 100 can be installed. After all the placement slots 101 of the empty tray 100 on the second tray platform 40 are filled with lithium batteries 200, the driving assembly 20 can drive the second tray platform 40 and the tray 100 filled with lithium batteries 200 thereon to move to the blanking position and the first tray platform 30 and the empty tray 100 thereon to move to the loading position. At this time, the material-grabbing and tray-loading manipulator can continue to place the lithium batteries 200 on the blanking conveyor line in the placement slots 101 of the empty tray 100 on the first tray platform 30, and at the same time, the tray 100 filled with lithium batteries 200 on the second tray platform 40 can be detached from the second tray platform 40 and an empty tray 100 can be installed. By repeating this process, when one tray platform drives the tray 100 filled with lithium batteries 200 to move to the blanking position for blanking, the other tray platform drives the empty tray 100 to move to the loading position for loading. The two tray platforms act alternately, so that the material-grabbing and tray-loading manipulator does not need to wait, enabling the continuous blanking and tray loading of the lithium batteries 200, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. Moreover, the first tray platform 30 can move up and down during the process of moving towards the other ends close to the two support plates 10 or towards the ends close to the two support plates 10, so as to avoid the second tray platform 40 and prevent interference and collision with the second tray platform 40, ensuring the smooth movement of the first tray platform 30 and the second tray platform 40. At the same time, the up and down movement of the first tray platform 30 is driven by the cam lifting assembly 60 without the need for a power source, reducing production costs.
