Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery tray loading and unloading, and in particular to an automatic loading and unloading system for machining large battery trays for heavy trucks. Background Art

[0002] The automated loading and unloading system for machining large battery trays for heavy trucks is an integrated system of automated equipment designed specifically for this purpose. It integrates mechanical, electronic, control, and information technologies, playing a key role in automatically handling, positioning, clamping, and unloading pallets during machining. The system typically consists of material transfer components, clamping components, loading components, an automatic electrical control box, a loading platform, and a manual inspection platform. Through preset programs and algorithms, the loading and unloading process is automated and intelligent. The battery tray machine is specialized equipment used for machining, assembling, or testing battery trays for new energy vehicles. As the backbone of the battery system, the battery tray plays an important role in resisting impact and vibration, and protecting the battery modules. It is a crucial element in ensuring battery system safety. The main function of the battery tray machine is to ensure that the battery trays possess high precision, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and impact resistance.

[0003] When loading and unloading large battery pallets of existing heavy trucks, due to the heavy weight of the large battery pallets of heavy trucks, unreasonable design of the clamps for clamping the battery pallets may lead to unstable grasping or deformation of the pallets. Due to the large size and heavy weight of the battery pallets, insufficient positioning accuracy may lead to processing errors or equipment damage. Some equipment uses narrow-pitch vacuum suction cups. If the vacuum suction is abnormal (such as leakage, insufficient pressure), the battery pallet may fall off or shift during transportation. If the contact surface between the clamp and the battery pallet is improperly designed, it may cause local pressure to be too high or too low. Excessive pressure may damage the battery pallet or battery cell, and too low pressure may lead to unstable fixation, causing the pallet to shift or fall off. Summary of the Invention

At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 301 is started to move downward. The downward movement of the hydraulic cylinder 301 will drive the shell 302 to move downward. The downward movement of the shell 302 will drive the sleeve 304 to move downward. The downward movement of the sleeve 304 will drive the connecting pipe 305 to move downward. The downward movement of the connecting pipe 305 will drive the suction cup 306 to move downward. The suction cup 306 moves downward to adsorb the placed large battery tray of the heavy truck; through the set structure, when the hydraulic cylinder 301 moves downward, it drives the suction cup 306 to move downward.

The rotation of the screw 402 drives the nut 403 to move toward the end close to the reducer 401. The movement of the nut 403 to one end drives the first connecting rod 404 to move toward one end. The movement of the first connecting rod 404 to one end drives the rotating pin 405 to move toward one end. The rotating pin 405 moves toward one end and slides in the guide groove 4061. At this time, the sliding plate 406 moves toward one end, and the sliding plate 40 6 Moving toward one end will drive the second connecting rod 407 to move inward, and the inward movement of the second connecting rod 407 will drive the clamping claws 408 to move inward. The inward movement of the four clamping claws 408 will clamp the battery tray. The surface of the clamping claws 408 is provided with multiple rubber protrusions. The multiple rubber protrusions on the clamping claws 408 can play a buffering and anti-slip role when clamping the battery tray. With the set structure, when the reducer 401 rotates clockwise, it will drive the four clamping claws 408 to move inward to clamp the battery tray.

[0023] Furthermore, the bottom supporting mechanism 500 includes a first sliding block 501, which is slidably connected to the clamping claw 408, a baffle 502 fixedly connected to the surface of the first sliding block 501, a first spring 503 fixedly connected to the lower end of the baffle 502, a lower end of the first spring 503 fixedly connected to the clamping claw 408, an upper end of the first sliding block 501 is slidably connected to a slide rail 504, one end of the slide rail 504 is fixedly connected to a second sliding block 505, a steel wire rope 506 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first sliding block 501, a rotating pin 507 is tightly fitted on the surface of the steel wire rope 506, both ends of the rotating pin 507 are rotatably connected to the clamping claw 408, and one end of the steel wire rope 506 is fixedly connected to the There is a first rotating rod 508, both ends of the first rotating rod 508 are elastically connected to the third sliding block 509 through a torsion spring, the upper end of the third sliding block 509 is fixedly connected to the second spring 510, the upper end of the second spring 510 is fixedly connected to the clamping jaw 408, the surface of the first rotating rod 508 is fixedly connected to the support rod 511, the surface of the third sliding block 509 is fixedly connected to the first fixed block 512, the interior of the clamping jaw 408 is slidably connected to a sliding plate 513, the interior of the sliding plate 513 is provided with a sliding groove 5131, the interior of the sliding groove 5131 is slidably connected to a rotating pin 514, one end of the rotating pin 514 is rotatably connected to a connecting block 515, and one end of the connecting block 515 is fixedly connected to the first sliding block 501;When the four clamping claws 408 move inward to clamp the battery tray, the hydraulic cylinder 301 drives the shell 302 to move upward, and the shell 302 moves upward, thereby driving the battery tray clamped by the clamping claws 408 into the air. The upward movement of the shell 302 drives the second connecting rod 407 to move upward, and the upward movement of the second connecting rod 407 drives the first sliding block 501 to move upward, and the upward movement of the first sliding block 501 drives the slide rail 504 to move upward, and the upward movement of the slide rail 504 drives the second sliding block 505 to move upward, and when the slide rail 504 moves upward and contacts the fixed plate 100, it will drive The first sliding block 501 slides into the clamping jaw 408. The sliding of the first sliding block 501 into the clamping jaw 408 will drive the baffle 502 to move downward. The downward movement of the baffle 502 will compress the first spring 503. When the first sliding block 501 moves downward, it will drive the wire rope 506 to move downward. The downward movement of the wire rope 506 will pull the first rotating rod 508 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating rod 508 will compress the torsion spring between the first rotating rod 508 and the third sliding block 509. The elastic force of the torsion spring between the first rotating rod 508 and the third sliding block 509 is much smaller than the elastic force of the second spring 510. The rotation of the first rotating rod 508 will drive the support rod 511 rotates, and at this time the wire rope 506 continues to move downward to drive the third sliding block 509 to move upward, and the third sliding block 509 moving upward will compress the second spring 510, and the third sliding block 509 moving upward will drive the unfolded support rod 511 to move upward, and the unfolded support rod 511 moving upward will fit closely with the bottom of the battery tray, and the lower end of the support rod 511 is provided with a first fixed block 512, and the first fixed block 512 can limit the unfolded support rod 511, and the first sliding block 501 sliding into the clamping claw 408 will drive the connecting block 515 to move downward, and the connecting block 515 moves downward This will drive the rotating pin 514 downward, which in turn will cause it to slide within the slide slot 5031. The upper end of the slide slot 5031 is vertically downward, and the lower end of the slide slot 5031 is curved outward from the clamping jaw 408. The sliding of the rotating pin 514 within the slot 5031 will drive the sliding plate 513 toward the heavy-duty truck large battery tray machine. The sliding plate 513 moves toward the heavy-duty truck large battery tray machine to initially clamp the heavy-duty truck large battery tray machine. The outer surface of the sliding plate 513 is provided with several raised blocks to prevent slipping. The raised blocks on the surface of the sliding plate 513 are made of rubber and have a certain degree of elasticity. It should be noted that, through the structure provided, when the hydraulic cylinder 301 moves upward, it will drive the battery tray into the air. When the battery tray is in the air, it will drive the support rod 511 to rotate a certain angle. When the support rod 511 rotates a certain angle, it will rotate to the bottom of the battery tray. At this time, when the hydraulic cylinder 301 continues to move upward, it will drive the unfolded support rod 511 to move upward. The upward movement of the unfolded support rod 511 will fit closely with the bottom of the battery tray. This greatly improves the supporting force for the large battery tray of heavy trucks and avoids the risk of the large battery tray of heavy trucks falling during the loading and unloading process. When the first sliding block 501 slides into the clamp 408, it will also drive the sliding plate 513 to initially clamp the large battery tray machine of heavy trucks.

[0024] Specifically, the placement mechanism 600 includes a rubber ball 601, which is tightly fitted with the second hollow groove 3041. One end of the rubber ball 601 is fixedly connected to the third connecting rod 602, and one end of the third connecting rod 602 is fixedly connected to the second arc plate 603. The center of the second arc plate 603 is rotatably connected to the second rotating rod 604, and one end of the second rotating rod 604 is rotatably connected to the fixing rod 606. The second rotating rod 604 is elastically connected to the fixing rod 606 through a torsion spring, and one end of the fixing rod 606 is fixedly connected to the shell 302. One end of the second arc plate 603 is fitted with a second fixing block 605, and the second fixing block 605 is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 606. When the robot arm 200 drives the clamped battery tray to the top of the specified position, the fixing plate 100 is still a certain height away from the placement ground. At this time, the starting liquid When the hydraulic cylinder 301 moves downward, the downward movement of the hydraulic cylinder 301 will drive the shell 302 away from the fixed plate 100. At this time, the first spring 503 and the second spring 510 will reset and drive the first sliding block 501 to move upward. The first sliding block 501 moves upward and drives the sliding plate 513 to retract into the clamping claw 408. The sliding plate 513 retracts into the clamping claw 408 and initially releases the clamping claw 408 to hold the battery tray. During the downward movement of the hydraulic cylinder 301, the support rod 511 will release the bottom support of the battery tray. The support rod 511 releases the bottom support of the battery tray in the air. At this time, the suction cup 306 and the clamping claw 408 still support the battery tray. When the battery tray is placed downward at the designated position, the reducer 401 is started to rotate counterclockwise. The counterclockwise rotation of the reducer 401 will drive the sliding plate 406 to move outward. When the sliding plate 406 moves outward, it will drive the first curved plate 4062 to move outward. It is worth mentioning that when the sliding plate 406 drives the first curved plate 4062 to move outward, it will drive the second curved plate 603 to rotate around the second rotating rod 604. The rotation of the second curved plate 603 around the second rotating rod 604 will drive the third connecting rod 602 to move toward one end. The movement of the third connecting rod 602 to one end will drive the rubber ball 601 to move toward one end. The rubber ball 601 moves toward one end away from the second hollow groove 3041. The second curved plate 603 and the first curved plate 4062 are both made of spring steel and have a certain degree of elasticity. When the clamping jaws 408 are unfolded, the first curved plate 4062 is on the outside of the second curved plate 603. One curved plate 4062 is bent outward from the shell 302, and the second curved plate 603 is bent toward the center of the shell 302. When the clamping jaws 408 clamp the battery tray, the first curved plate 4062 will be driven to move inward. When the first curved plate 4062 moves inward and contacts the second curved plate 603, it will bend. When the clamping jaws 408 open, the first curved plate 4062 will be driven to move outward. The outward movement of the first curved plate 4062 will drive the second curved plate 603 to rotate. The rotation of the second curved plate 603 will pull the third connecting rod 602 inward. The third connecting rod 602 is made of spring steel and has a certain elasticity.

[0025] Specifically, a structure is set up so that when the battery tray is placed, the clamping claw 408 moves outward to loosen the clamping of the battery tray. When the clamping claw 408 loosens the clamping of the battery tray, it will drive the rubber ball 601 away from the second hollow groove 3041. At this time, the outside air will enter the suction cup 306 through the second hollow groove 3041. At this time, the negative pressure in the suction cup 306 disappears, thereby automatically loosening the adsorption of the suction cup 306 on the battery tray.

[0026] Working principle: Heavy truck battery trays are usually large in size and heavy in weight, which requires higher automation and flexibility of the production line. In the process of upgrading the robot automation production line, this study adopted the integration technology of industrial robots and machine tools, and realized the linkage with the programmable logic controller PLC and multi-sensor. The introduction of these technologies replaced the traditional manual operation and realized the automation of automatic loading and unloading, machine tool processing and material handling between processes. The six-axis robot is carried on the ground rail to pick up the material. The robot drives the mechanical arm 200 to automatically grab the material and then go to the designated position for 2D positioning camera alignment, and then the processing equipment is rotated. The product flipping requires 2D positioning camera alignment again, and the processed product is put back on the carrier. When the present invention is in use, the mechanical arm 200 controls the fixed plate 100 to be directly above the large battery tray of the heavy truck. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 301 is started to move downward. The downward movement of the hydraulic cylinder 301 will drive the shell 302 to move downward. The downward movement of the shell 302 will drive the sleeve 304 to move downward. The downward movement of the sleeve 304 will drive the connecting pipe 305 to move downward. The downward movement of the connecting pipe 305 will drive the suction cup 306 to move downward. The suction cup 306 moves downward to adsorb the placed large battery tray of the heavy truck; through the set structure, when the hydraulic cylinder 301 moves downward, it drives the suction cup 306 to move downward. The suction cup 306 moves downward to adsorb the placed large battery tray of the heavy truck.

[0027] When grabbing the large battery tray of the heavy truck, the lower end of the clamping claw 408 is flush with the bottom end of the large battery tray of the heavy truck, and the third sliding block 509 can slide into the inside of the clamping claw 408. At this time, the reducer 401 is started to rotate. The rotation of the reducer 401 will drive the screw 402 to rotate clockwise. Two nuts 403 are provided on the screw 402. The surfaces of the two nuts 403 are correspondingly provided with two connected clamping claws 408. The rotation of the screw 402 will drive the nut 403 to move toward one end close to the reducer 401. The movement of the nut 403 to one end will drive the first connecting rod 404 to move to one end. The movement of the first connecting rod 404 to one end will drive the rotating pin 405 to one end. The movement of the rotating pin 405 to one end will slide in the guide groove 4061. At this time, the sliding plate 406 moves to one end. The movement of the sliding plate 406 toward one end will drive the four second connecting rods 407 to move inward. Since the second connecting rod 407 is fixedly connected to the clamping claws 408, the four second connecting rods 407 move inward, thereby driving the four clamping claws 408 to move inward to clamp the battery tray. When the screw 402 rotates counterclockwise, it will drive the four clamping claws 408 to expand, and the inward movement of the second connecting rod 407 will drive the clamping claws 408 to move inward. The inward movement of the four clamping claws 408 will clamp the battery tray. The surface of the clamping claw 408 is provided with multiple rubber protrusions. The multiple rubber protrusions on the clamping claw 408 can play a buffering and anti-slip role when clamping the battery tray. With the set structure, when the reducer 401 rotates clockwise, it will drive the four clamping claws 408 to move inward to clamp the battery tray.

[0028] When the four clamping claws 408 move inward to clamp the battery tray, the hydraulic cylinder 301 drives the shell 302 to move upward, and the shell 302 moves upward, thereby driving the battery tray clamped by the clamping claws 408 into the air. The upward movement of the shell 302 drives the second connecting rod 407 to move upward, and the upward movement of the second connecting rod 407 drives the first sliding block 501 to move upward, and the upward movement of the first sliding block 501 drives the slide rail 504 to move upward, and the upward movement of the slide rail 504 drives the second sliding block 505 to move upward, and when the slide rail 504 moves upward and contacts the fixed plate 100, it will drive The first sliding block 501 slides into the clamping jaw 408. The sliding of the first sliding block 501 into the clamping jaw 408 will drive the baffle 502 to move downward. The downward movement of the baffle 502 will compress the first spring 503. When the first sliding block 501 moves downward, it will drive the wire rope 506 to move downward. The downward movement of the wire rope 506 will pull the first rotating rod 508 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating rod 508 will compress the torsion spring between the first rotating rod 508 and the third sliding block 509. The elastic force of the torsion spring between the first rotating rod 508 and the third sliding block 509 is much smaller than the elastic force of the second spring 510. The rotation of the first rotating rod 508 will drive the support rod 511 rotates, and at this time the wire rope 506 continues to move downward to drive the third sliding block 509 to move upward, and the third sliding block 509 moving upward will compress the second spring 510, and the third sliding block 509 moving upward will drive the unfolded support rod 511 to move upward, and the unfolded support rod 511 moving upward will fit closely with the bottom of the battery tray, and the lower end of the support rod 511 is provided with a first fixed block 512, and the first fixed block 512 can limit the unfolded support rod 511, and the first sliding block 501 sliding into the clamping claw 408 will drive the connecting block 515 to move downward, and the connecting block 515 moves downward The cam 5031 is rotated in a direction that is perpendicular to the axis of the vehicle 408 and the cam 5032 is rotated in a direction that is perpendicular to the axis of the vehicle 408. The cam 5032 is rotated in a direction that is perpendicular to the axis of the vehicle 408 and the cam 5032 is rotated in a direction that is perpendicular to the axis of the vehicle 408. The cam 5032 is rotated in a direction that is perpendicular to the axis of the vehicle 408 and the cam 5032 is rotated in a direction that is perpendicular to the axis of the vehicle 408. The cam 5032 is rotated in a direction that is perpendicular to the axis of the vehicle 408 and the cam 5032 is rotated in a direction that is perpendicular to the axis of the vehicle 408.Through the provided structure, when the hydraulic cylinder 301 moves upward, it drives the battery tray into the air. When the battery tray is in the air, it drives the support rod 511 to rotate a certain angle. The support rod 511 rotates a certain angle and rotates to the bottom of the battery tray. At this time, when the hydraulic cylinder 301 continues to move upward, it drives the expanded support rod 511 to move upward. The upward movement of the expanded support rod 511 will closely fit the bottom of the battery tray. This greatly improves the support force of the large battery tray for heavy trucks and avoids the risk of the large battery tray for heavy trucks falling during loading and unloading. When the first sliding block 501 slides into the clamping jaw 408, it also drives the sliding plate 513 to initially clamp the large battery tray for heavy trucks.

[0029] When the robotic arm 200 drives the clamped battery tray to the top of the specified position, the fixed plate 100 is still a certain height away from the placement ground. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 301 is started to move downward. The downward movement of the hydraulic cylinder 301 will drive the shell 302 away from the fixed plate 100. At this time, the first spring 503 and the second spring 510 will reset and drive the first sliding block 501 to move upward. The first sliding block 501 moves upward and then drives the sliding plate 513 to retract into the clamping claw 408. The sliding plate 513 retracts into the clamping claw 408 and initially loosens the clamping claw 408. During the downward movement of the hydraulic cylinder 301, the support rod 511 will loosen the bottom support of the battery tray. The support rod 511 loosens the support of the battery tray. The bottom is completed in the air. At this time, the suction cup 306 and the clamping claw 408 are still supporting the battery tray. When the battery tray is placed downward at the designated position, the reducer 401 is started to rotate counterclockwise. The counterclockwise rotation of the reducer 401 will drive the sliding plate 406 to move outward. When the sliding plate 406 moves outward, it will drive the first curved plate 4062 to move outward. When the sliding plate 406 drives the first curved plate 4062 to move outward, it will drive the second curved plate 603 to rotate around the second rotating rod 604. The rotation of the second curved plate 603 around the second rotating rod 604 will drive the third connecting rod 602 to move toward one end. The movement of the third connecting rod 602 to one end will drive the rubber ball 601 to move toward one end. 601 moves toward one end away from the second hollow groove 3041. The second curved plate 603 and the first curved plate 4062 are both made of spring steel and have a certain elasticity. When the clamping jaws 408 are unfolded, the first curved plate 4062 is on the outside of the second curved plate 603. The first curved plate 4062 is bent outward of the shell 302, and the second curved plate 603 is bent toward the center of the shell 302. When the clamping jaws 408 clamp the battery tray, the first curved plate 4062 is driven to move inward. When the first curved plate 4062 moves inward and contacts the second curved plate 603, it will bend. When the clamping jaws 408 are opened, the first curved plate 4062 is driven to move outward. The first curved plate 4062 is bent outward. The movement will drive the second curved plate 603 to rotate, and the rotation of the second curved plate 603 will pull the third connecting rod 602 to move inward. The third connecting rod 602 is made of spring steel and has a certain elasticity. With the set structure, when placing the battery tray, the clamping claw 408 moves outward to loosen the clamp on the battery tray. When the clamping claw 408 loosens the clamp on the battery tray, it will drive the rubber ball 601 away from the second hollow groove 3041. At this time, the outside air will enter the suction cup 306 through the second hollow groove 3041. At this time, the negative pressure in the suction cup 306 disappears, thereby automatically loosening the suction cup 306 on the battery tray, and cooperating with the robot to drive the mechanical arm to automatically unload the battery tray. The structure is simple and the cost is low.
