Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of battery off-line production, and in particular relates to an off-line device for a battery production line. Background Art

[0002] In the battery production process, "offline" means that the product has completed a series of assembly, testing and other processes on the production line, and has reached the stage where it can be unloaded from the production line and prepared for subsequent packaging, quality inspection and warehousing. For example, after the plates are installed, the electrolyte is injected, the seal is processed and various performance indicators are preliminarily tested and qualified, the battery can be removed from the assembly line. This is the so-called off-line operation.

[0003] The search publication number (CN215325555U) discloses a battery automatic unloading device, including a mounting frame, provided with X, Y, and Z axes distributed perpendicularly to each other, and also including the following mechanisms: a first driving mechanism, the first driving mechanism drives along the X-axis direction; a second driving mechanism, the second driving mechanism drives along the Y-axis direction; a third driving mechanism, the third driving mechanism drives along the X-axis direction; a fourth driving mechanism, the fourth driving mechanism drives along the Z-axis direction; a gripping mechanism, the first driving mechanism, the second driving mechanism, the third driving mechanism, the fourth driving mechanism, and the gripping mechanism are arranged in layers from top to bottom; the overall structural design of the device is ingenious and compact. It is compact, stable and reliable; it can liberate labor productivity and improve work efficiency; the frame-type layered structure makes the device easier to produce and install, and provides convenience for the automation technical transformation and upgrading of the production line; but in the case of large and heavy batteries, it is difficult to achieve stable battery off-line by relying solely on the above-mentioned clamping, and the clamping is likely to cause deformation of the battery, resulting in some safety hazards to the battery. Therefore, we have designed a battery off-line device for the battery production line, which uses a suction cup to drag the battery without squeezing the battery. In conjunction with the double off-line workstation, it avoids the battery from piling up and colliding when being transported off the line, ensuring the stable operation of the battery off-line.

[0037] Example 3: Basically the same as Example 1, further: the side shift assembly 12 includes a long seat 121 fixedly mounted on the top of the inner cavity of the bracket 10, a rack 122 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the inner cavity of the long seat 121, an L-shaped plate 123 is fixedly mounted on one side of the suction cup device 11, a motor 3 124 is fixedly mounted on the L-shaped plate 123, the output shaft of the motor 3 124 passes through the inner cavity of the long seat 121 and is fixedly mounted with a gear 125, the gear 125 is meshed with the rack 122, the top of the inner cavity of the bracket 10 is fixedly connected to two symmetrical long groove rails 126, and one side of the suction cup device 11 is fixedly connected to two The symmetrical L-shaped plate 2 127 is fixedly connected to a slider 128 that slides in the inner cavity of the long groove rail 126.

[0038] A method for using a battery production line offline device, comprising the following steps:

[0039] The battery is then moved to the upper and lower ends of the battery conveyor 2, and the upper and lower ends of the battery are moved to the upper and lower ends of the battery conveyor 2. The upper and lower ends of the battery conveyor 2 are moved to the upper and lower ends of the battery conveyor 2, and the upper and lower ends of the battery conveyor 2 are moved to the upper and lower ends of the battery conveyor 2.

[0040] Step 2: Then the motor 2 74 drives the multi-rod disc 75 to reverse, so that the T-shaped frame 71 and the suction cup device 1 6 move away from the direction of the battery conveyor 2, and the suction cup device 1 6 drives the battery to move on the top of the support shell 4, and the multiple balls 8 reduce the friction of the battery movement; until the battery is completely moved to the top of the support shell 4, the cylinder 56 retracts and drives the long sliding shell 55 to reset until the support shell 4 is located directly above the elevator 3. The elevator 3 continues to work and adjusts the height of the support shell 4 so that the height of the battery is aligned with the rectangular opening on the bracket 10. Then the motor 1 51 drives the threaded rod 52 to rotate, and the threaded sleeve 54 drives the movable track 53 to move left and right due to the thread. The movable track 53 drives the support shell 4 to move left and right through the long sliding shell 55, so that the battery limit on the support shell 4 is close to the rectangular opening on the bracket 10.

[0041] Step 3: At this time, the motor 3 124 drives the gear 125 to work. The gear 125 drives the L-shaped plate 123 to move due to the fixed state of the rack 122. The L-shaped plate 123 drives the suction cup device 2 11 to move until the suction cup on the suction cup device 2 11 contacts the battery. The suction cup device 2 11 works so that the suction cup on the suction cup device 2 11 is firmly attached to the battery. The suction cup device 1 6 stops working. Then the motor 3 124 reverses, driving the battery through the rectangular shape of the bracket 10. The batteries enter the conveying roller of the offline roller conveyor 9 at the entrance, the suction cup device 11 stops working, and the offline roller conveyor 9 works to convey the batteries out. The two offline roller conveyors 9 are used crosswise to cooperate with the conveying of the side shift component 12 and the mobile component 5, which can ensure that the battery off-line work is carried out effectively and avoid the excessive accumulation of batteries on the battery conveyor 2. The end of the offline roller conveyor 9 can cooperate with the pick-and-place robot to remove the batteries on the offline roller conveyor 9 and stack them.

[0042] To sum up: the battery production line uses a offline device, which operates the suction cup device 1 6 close to the battery on the battery conveyor 2 through the lifting and moving component 5 of the elevator 3 and the cooperation with the propulsion component 7, and drags the battery from the battery conveyor 2 to the top of the support shell 4, and then the side shift component 12 on the bracket 10 operates the suction cup device 2 11 to drag the battery above the support shell 4 to the offline roller conveyor 9 for offline operation. The two offline roller conveyors 9 cooperate, and the batteries will not pile up or collide, so that the batteries can be dragged by suction cups without squeezing the batteries. In conjunction with the double offline workstations, the stable operation of the battery offline is guaranteed.
