Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery packaging, and in particular to packaging equipment for batteries used in load-carrying tricycles. Background Art

[0002] Batteries for load-carrying three-wheelers face special challenges in packing due to their large size and significant weight (usually a single battery weighs more than 20kg).

[0003] The patent document with publication number CN210028110U discloses a battery packing device. When in use, the battery clamp clamps and lifts multiple batteries, then puts the unfolded packaging box upward from the bottom of the battery pack, and then lowers the batteries and the packaging box to the workbench together. Finally, the battery clamp is released and transferred to the sealing station.

[0004] However, this method has significant drawbacks: 1. The weight and volume of the battery require the clamp to exert a very high clamping force, which can easily cause the battery shell to deform under pressure or damage the internal structure. Furthermore, if the clamping force is insufficient, the battery may slip and fall during the lifting process, causing a safety accident. 2. When inserting the packaging box from below, the box must be precisely aligned with the suspended battery pack. Because the battery pack has a concentrated weight and no bottom support, the edge of the box can easily collide with the battery during the insertion process, causing the packaging box to break.

[0005] Existing technologies rely on high-intensity clamping operations and inefficient multi-station coordination, making it difficult to achieve a balanced balance of safety, efficiency, and packaging quality when packaging batteries for load-carrying tricycles. A new packaging solution is urgently needed that reduces reliance on clamping, optimizes the box closing process, and achieves an integrated operation. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a packing device which is convenient for closing the box cover at the lower side of the packing box for packing batteries for load-carrying tricycles.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution provided by the present invention is: A packing device for batteries for a load-carrying tricycle includes a platform, a bracket is fixed to the lower end of the platform, a rectangular groove is opened on the platform, a support assembly is arranged in the rectangular groove, the upper end of the support assembly is flush with the upper end of the platform, the support assembly includes a support plate, the left and right ends of the support plate are rotatably connected to a rotating plate, the lower end of the support plate and the lower end of the rotating plate are connected by multiple driving assemblies, a lifting rod is fixed to the middle position of the lower end of the support plate, a vertical groove is opened on the upper side of the lifting rod, a fourth telescopic rod is fixed in the lifting rod below the vertical groove, a U-shaped lifting frame is slidably arranged in the vertical groove, and the upper ends of the two vertical parts of the lifting frame are fixed with support rods, and the support rods are located in the long groove on the support plate Inside, a third telescopic rod is fixed on the bracket, and the upper end of the third telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting rod, and vertical plates are fixed to the upper ends of the platforms on the front and rear sides of the rectangular groove, and clamping units are provided on the two vertical plates; it also includes a packing box, which is used to pack four batteries. When the rotating plate and the support plate are parallel, the rotating plate and the support plate can support the lower ends of the four batteries in the packing box. After the rotating plate is rotated downward away from the end of the support plate, the support plate can support the lower ends of the four batteries. After the box covers on the front and rear sides of the lower end of the packing box for packing batteries are folded, the distance between the opposite ends of the box covers on the front and rear sides of the lower end of the packing box is greater than the width of the support rod.

[0008] Specifically, the upper end of the rotating plate, the upper end of the supporting plate and the upper end of the supporting rod are flush.

[0009] Specifically, the rotating plate and the lower sides of the opposite ends of the supporting plate are rotatably connected through a rotating rod.

[0010] Specifically, the driving assembly includes a fixed block fixed to the lower end of the rotating plate and a fixed rod fixed to the lower end of the supporting plate, one end of the second telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the fixed block, and the other end of the second telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the fixed rod.

[0011] Specifically, the clamping unit includes a vertical plate fixed on the upper end of the platform, a push plate is provided on the side of the vertical plate facing the center of the platform, and the push plate is connected to the vertical plate through a plurality of first telescopic rods.

[0012] Specifically, the length direction of the supporting rod is perpendicular to the axial direction of the fourth telescopic rod.

[0013] Specifically, the straight portion of the lifting frame is in sliding contact with the groove wall of the vertical groove.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. When the third telescopic rod drives the lifting rod upward, the rotating plate and the supporting plate jointly support the batteries. These plates provide stable support during the lifting process, preventing the batteries from tilting or tipping over during movement. This ensures that all four batteries are evenly loaded. Clamping units on both sides secure the box and the batteries within. When the rotating plate rotates, the box's side walls and the supporting plate form a double barrier, effectively preventing the outermost batteries from sliding or tipping over due to reduced support area, enhancing operational safety.

[0015] 2. The clamping unit design allows the device to quickly center the box. Once the box is placed, the first telescopic rod pushes the push plate to squeeze the box, automatically fixing the position of the battery and box. This eliminates the need for manual adjustment and reduces operational complexity.

[0016] 3. The downward-rotating design of the rotating plate provides physical clearance for the folding of the lower lid of the packaging box. Once the plate rotates, workers can easily fold the left and right lids under the batteries, eliminating the mechanical obstruction encountered in traditional box packaging. Driven by the lifting frame, the support rods move flexibly, further facilitating the folding of the front and rear lids, ensuring a smooth and interference-free folding process.

[0017] 4. The rotation of the turntable, the lifting of the support rod and the reset of the overall support are achieved through the control of multiple telescopic rods, which reduces the need for manual intervention, not only reduces labor intensity, but also ensures the accuracy of step connection and improves the reliability of the overall process.

[0018] 5. The equipment integrates battery placement, lifting, lid folding, and support reset steps into a seamless, integrated operation. The support assembly's reset mechanism facilitates quick transfer of the box and its contents to the strapping station. Folding the lower lid of the box also simplifies the process, ensuring the box tightly wraps the batteries, reducing the risk of packaging defects or battery damage, and ultimately improving packing quality and efficiency.

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a packing device for batteries for load-carrying tricycles includes a platform 1, a bracket 21 is fixed to the lower end of the platform 1, a rectangular groove 16 is opened on the platform 1, a support assembly is arranged in the rectangular groove 16, and the upper end of the support assembly is flush with the upper end of the platform 1.

[0030] The support assembly includes a support plate 5, and both left and right ends of the support plate 5 are rotatably connected to a rotating plate 6. Specifically, the rotating plate 6 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the opposite end of the support plate 5 through a rotating rod.

[0031] The lower end of the supporting plate 5 and the lower end of the rotating plate 6 are both connected through a plurality of driving components.

[0032] The driving assembly includes a fixed block 7 fixed to the lower end of the rotating plate 6 and a fixed rod 9 fixed to the lower end of the supporting plate 5. One end of the second telescopic rod 8 is rotatably connected to the fixed block 7, and the other end of the second telescopic rod 8 is rotatably connected to the fixed rod 9.

[0033] A lifting rod 10 is fixed to the center of the lower end of the support plate 5. A vertical slot 12 is defined on the upper side of the lifting rod 10. A fourth telescopic rod 15 is fixed to the lifting rod 10 below the slot 12. A U-shaped lifting frame 13 slides within the slot 12. The straight portion of the lifting frame 13 slides against the walls of the slot 12. Support rods 14 are fixed to the upper ends of the two vertical portions of the lifting frame 13. Support rods 14 are located within the elongated slots 20 in the support plate 5. The upper ends of the rotating plate 6, the support plate 5, and the support rods 14 are flush. The length of the support rods 14 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the fourth telescopic rod 15.

[0034] The third telescopic rod 11 is fixed on the bracket 21 , and the upper end of the third telescopic rod 11 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting rod 10 .

[0035] Vertical plates 2 are fixed to the upper ends of the platform 1 on both sides of the rectangular slot 16. Each vertical plate 2 is provided with a clamping unit. The clamping unit includes a vertical plate 2 fixed to the upper end of the platform 1. A push plate 4 is provided on the side of the vertical plate 2 facing the center of the platform 1. The push plate 4 is connected to the vertical plate 2 via a plurality of first telescopic rods 3.

[0036] It also includes a packing box 19, which is used to pack four batteries 17. When the rotating plate 6 and the support plate 5 are parallel, the rotating plate 6 and the support plate 5 can support the lower ends of the four batteries 17 in the packing box 19. After the rotating plate 6 rotates downward away from the end of the support plate 5, the support plate 5 can support the lower ends of the four batteries 17. After the box covers on the front and rear sides of the lower end of the packing box 19 for packing the batteries 17 are folded, the distance between the opposite ends of the box covers on the front and rear sides of the lower end of the packing box 19 is greater than the width of the support rod 14.

[0037] When the batteries 17 are packed, a single packing box 19 is used to pack four batteries 17 , and a partition 18 is placed between two adjacent batteries 17 .

[0038] After placing the spacer 18 between two adjacent batteries 17, the four batteries 17 on the platform 1 are pushed so that the four batteries 17 are located at the upper end of the support assembly and the four batteries 17 are centered at the upper end of the support assembly. At this time, the rotating plate 6 and the supporting plate 5 are in contact with the lower ends of the four batteries 17.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the third telescopic rod 11 is started, and the third telescopic rod 11 causes the four batteries 17 to move upward through the lifting rod 10 and the supporting assembly. Since the turn plate 6 and the support plate 5 support the batteries 17, the turn plate 6 and the support plate 5 can steadily lift the four batteries 17 during the upward process.

[0040] Then the packing box 19 is placed outside the four batteries 17, with the lower side box cover and the upper box cover of the packing box 19 in an unfolded state.

[0041] After the packing box 19 is sleeved on the outside of the four batteries 17 , the first telescopic rod 3 is activated to move the push rods on both sides of the packing box 19 and squeeze and limit the packing box 19 and the four batteries 17 therein.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, after the packing box 19 is put on the outside of the four batteries 17, the second telescopic rod 8 is started to rotate the rotating plate 6 downward away from the end of the support plate 5. After the rotating plate 6 rotates, the support plate 5 can still support the lower ends of the four batteries 17. After the rotating plate 6 rotates, the supported area of ​​the lower ends of the leftmost and rightmost batteries 17 is reduced, but due to the blocking effect of the packing box 19 on the leftmost and rightmost batteries 17, the leftmost and rightmost batteries 17 can be prevented from flipping downward.

[0043] After the rotating plate 6 rotates downward, the worker can fold the box covers at the left and right ends of the lower side of the packaging box 19 to under the leftmost battery 17 and under the rightmost battery 17. After the rotating plate 6 rotates, the box covers at the left and right ends of the lower side of the packaging box 19 make way.

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, after the left and right lids on the lower side of the packaging box 19 are folded, the third and fourth telescopic rods 11, 15 are simultaneously activated, causing the third telescopic rod 11 to shorten and the fourth telescopic rod 15 to lengthen, with the telescopic ends of the third and fourth telescopic rods 11, 15 moving at the same speed. After the third and fourth telescopic rods 11, 15 are activated, the support plate 5 and the rotating plate 6 descend, and the left and right support rods 14 support the lower ends of the two batteries 17 on the left and the middle of the lower ends of the two batteries 17 on the right, respectively.

[0045] Then the box bodies at both front and rear ends of the packing box 19 lower ends are folded to below the four batteries 17. At this moment, the support rod 14 is positioned between the box covers at both front and rear ends of the packing box 19 lower ends.

[0046] Then, the fourth telescopic rod 15 is activated, causing the support rod 14 and the lifting frame 13 to return downward. The third telescopic rod 11 and the second telescopic rod 8 are activated, causing the rotating plate 6 and the supporting plate 5 to return to their original position. At this point, the lower cover of the packaging box 19 is folded over to the lower end of the four batteries 17. The rotating plate 6 and the supporting plate 5 are returned to their original position. The packaging box 19 is pushed to the bundling station. After the upper cover of the packaging box 19 is folded over to the upper end of the four batteries 17, the packaging box 19 and the four batteries 17 inside it are bundled and packaged at the bundling station.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
