[0002] During the production of battery covers, small raw materials need to be placed on large raw materials, and then the placed raw materials need to be transported and clamped. After clamping, they need to be heated and compression-molded. However, when the existing compression equipment operates this series of processes, it is always necessary to transfer the product to several separately placed equipment for processing, and it needs to be transported and clamped when processing each process part. This step-by-step clamping and transportation method seriously increases production time and will also cause the product to miss the optimal molding conditions when transferring processes; at the same time, when the heated product is re-clamped and transported, the temperature of the product is extremely high, and multi-step clamping and transportation will inevitably cause burns to people. At the same time, the switching clamping will also cause problems such as product bumps and pinching; and ordinary clamps can only clamp the product, but cannot control the tension of the product, which will cause the product to be uneven during compression molding.

[0055] Working principle of the present invention:

[0056] The carrier 18 is installed on the outside of the clamping station 21, and the pair of fourth side rails 1512 of the two fourth guide rail assemblies 151 move downward under the drive of the first lifting mechanism 10, and at the same time, the push-pull assembly 1513 installed on the fourth side rail 1512 moves downward. After the push-pull assembly 1513 moves downward, the limit buckle at the end is engaged with the carrier 18. After the limit is completed, the four corners of the clamping station 21 are locked by the lifting limit mechanism at the four corners, and the various raw materials required for the automobile battery cover are placed on the upper part of the feeding mechanism 1. On the material table, the first truss manipulator 9 on the first truss 7 slides on the first guide rail assembly 8 to clamp and deliver a variety of automobile battery cover materials to the clamping station 21 according to the specified position, and stack them on top of each other according to the specified position. After the placement is completed, the second cylinder 224 of the push-pull mechanism 22 on the outer side of the clamping station 21 pulls the first slide 223 to move toward the clamping station 21 on the ninth guide rail 222, and the third cylinder 225 extends upward during the sliding process of the first slide 223, and the push of the third cylinder 225 The surface 2271 contacts the connecting frames at the ends of the several telescopic mechanisms 182 on the weekly wall of the carrier 18 to push the telescopic mechanism 182 and the clamping jaws 183 thereon to move toward the clamping station 21. When the clamping jaws 183 are about to approach the raw material, the driving mechanism drives the clamping jaws 183 to open. When the clamping jaws 183 move to the edge of the raw material, the second cylinder 224 stops working, and the clamping jaws 183 clamp the raw material under the driving force of the driving mechanism. After clamping, the third cylinder 225 retracts downward, and the second cylinder 224 moves closer to the clamping station 21. The third cylinder 225 extends upwards, and the reverse pulling surface 2261 on the push-pull plate 227 of the third cylinder 225 contacts the inner side surface of the connecting frame of the end of the multiple telescopic mechanisms 182. The second cylinder 224 moves away from the clamping station 21 to tighten the raw material. After tightening, the second cylinder 224 stops working and the third cylinder 225 retracts downwards to complete the clamping of the raw material.

[0057] After the clamping is completed, the fourth side rail 1512 rises under the drive of the first lifting mechanism 10. When it rises to be flush with the sixth guide rail assembly and can be docked, the push-pull assembly 1513 pushes the carrier 18 to move to the sixth guide rail assembly. When the push-pull assembly 1513 reaches the maximum limit of the fourth side rail 1512, the push-pull assembly 1513 stops moving, and at the same time, the first lifting mechanism 10 drives the fourth side rail 1512 to slide upward on the first slide rail assembly 157, so that the limit buckle at the end of the push-pull assembly 1513 is engaged with the carrier 18, and the carrier 18 falls onto the guide rail of the sixth guide rail assembly. The lifting and pushing mechanism outside the entrance of the tunnel heating equipment 3 pushes the part of the carrier 18 exposed from the tunnel into the tunnel, so that the carrier 18 can be completely located in the tunnel, and the heating plate in the heating chamber of the tunnel heating equipment 3 heats the raw materials in the tunnel. At the same time, the second motor 191 of each group of heat dissipation mechanisms 19 drives the cooling fans on the corresponding sprocket shafts to start, so as to dissipate heat from the heating plate and balance the temperature in the tunnel of the tunnel heating equipment 3.

[0058] After the heating is completed, the motor on the sixth guide rail assembly drives the carrier 18 to move, thereby driving the carrier 18 to move to the seventh guide rail assembly 154 on both sides of the mold of the compression molding device 4. The second lifting mechanism 156 drives the moving block 1552 on the second slide rail assembly 155 to move downward. At the same time, the seventh side rail 1541 of the seventh guide rail assembly 154 moves downward on the second vertical rail 1551 along with the moving block 1552. The electric slider 1542 drives the carrier 18 to move downward. Then, the clamping jaws 183 are opened under the control of the driving mechanism to allow the raw material to separate from the clamping jaws 183, so that the raw material falls onto the lower mold of the compression molding device 4.

[0059] The seventh side rail 1541 of the seventh guide rail assembly 154 rises, and when it rises and docks with the guide rail of the fifth guide rail assembly 152, the electric slider 1542 on the seventh side rail 1541 of the seventh guide rail assembly 154 drives the empty carrier 18 back to the guide rail of the fifth guide rail assembly 152. At the same time, the first lifting mechanism 10 drives the fourth guide rail assembly 151 to move upward on the guide rail of the first slide rail assembly 157, so that the limit buckle at the end of the push-pull assembly 1513 on the fourth side rail 1512 of the fourth guide rail assembly 151 is buckled with the end of the carrier 18. When the push-pull assembly 1513 drives the carrier 18 to reach the top of the clamping station 21, when the carrier 18 is needed, it descends to the specified position to meet the next clamping of the carrier 18, so as to realize the rotation of the carrier 18.

[0060] At the same time, the compression molding equipment 4 compression molds the raw material into a cover shape to complete the compression molding. The second truss manipulator 16 slides on a pair of third guide rail assemblies 17 on the second truss 14 to bring the molded product in the compression molding equipment 4 to the workstation of the forming mechanism 5 and perform the forming process at the workstation of the forming mechanism 5. The processed product is then lifted to the workstation of the unloading mechanism 6 by the second truss manipulator 16 to realize unloading.

[0061] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the present invention.
