Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a turning tool for facilitating the welding of an energy storage container, and belongs to the field of mechanical equipment. Background Art

[0002] The base of the energy storage container usually consists of two layers of bottom plates, the upper bottom plate is mainly used to place equipment in the cabin, and the lower bottom plate is directly in contact with the foundation, mainly responsible for sealing to prevent external humid air from entering the container. The lower bottom plate of the container has plug welding holes for welding with the base cross beams, and the lower bottom plate is fully welded to the surrounding beams around the base.

[0003] With the evolution of the energy storage container structure, the processing technology of energy storage containers has also undergone major changes: the previous energy storage containers were modularly processed, that is, they were divided into three modules: the base, the top cover, and the middle frame, which were processed separately and then welded and assembled. The battery rack was installed inside the container as an independent structure. In this mode, the steps for welding the base of the energy storage container are to first weld the base frame, namely the base longitudinal beams, cross beams, and corner pieces, and then weld the lower bottom plate. After the lower bottom plate is welded, use a crane or other means to turn the base upside down and weld the upper bottom plate.

[0004] Existing energy storage containers usually integrate the battery rack as part of the container structure. The upper end of the battery rack column is welded to the container top cover longitudinal beam, and the lower end is welded to the container base longitudinal beam. The battery rack column is used to provide support for the battery and also serves as the internal column of the container. At this time, processing according to the previous processing method will greatly increase the processing difficulty and reduce production efficiency. Therefore, a new processing technology was designed. First, the internal battery rack and the top cover longitudinal beam and the base longitudinal beam are welded as a whole, and then the surrounding frame, the top cover five-wave plate, and the bottom plate of the base are welded. According to this processing technology, there is a problem that after the container frame is welded, the entire container must be turned over to weld the lower bottom plate, and then turned back to the original state after welding. If a crane or crane is still used when the container is turned over as a whole, there will be problems such as danger in the turning process, difficulty in control, and slow turning speed.

[0005] The prefabricated cabin base flipping tool with application publication number CN108100966A can only flip the base, but cannot flip the overall welded frame of the container. This flipping method also limits the diversity of the processing technology of the energy storage container, and other modules can only be assembled after the base module is completely welded. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to provide a turning tool which is convenient for welding an energy storage container, so as to solve the problem that when the container is turned over as a whole in the prior art, if a traveling crane or a crane is still used, the turning process will be dangerous and difficult to control.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the solution of the utility model includes:

[0008] The utility model is a flipping tool for facilitating the welding of energy storage containers, characterized in that it includes a flipping device, which includes a base and a flipping mechanism installed on the base; the flipping mechanism includes support arms arranged perpendicular to each other for supporting two adjacent side surfaces of the container, and the position where the two support arms are connected is hinged on the base; the base includes a supporting part that supports the corresponding support arms before and after flipping, and a force-applying part that drives the flipping device to rotate around a hinge point is provided on the base.

[0009] The turning tool of the utility model realizes smooth and safe turning of the container by means of supporting arms which are arranged perpendicularly to each other and are used to support two adjacent side surfaces of the container; the stability of the container before and after turning is realized by means of a supporting portion which is arranged on the base and is used to support the corresponding supporting arms before and after turning; and the stability and safety of the container during turning are realized by means of a force-applying portion which is arranged on the base and is used to drive the turning device.

[0010] Furthermore, there are two turning devices, which are respectively arranged at two ends of the container base in the length direction.

[0011] Providing two flipping mechanisms on the base will make the flipping process more stable and safer than providing only one.

[0012] Furthermore, the support arm includes a longitudinal beam support arm and a transverse beam support arm, the longitudinal beam support arm is used to support the longitudinal beam of the container; the transverse beam support arm is used to support the transverse beam of the container.

[0013] The support arms are arranged as longitudinal beam support arms for supporting longitudinal beams of the container and transverse beam support arms for supporting transverse beams of the container which are perpendicular to each other. The arrangement is more reasonable and the container can be turned over more conveniently and smoothly.

[0014] Furthermore, a limit block for locking the container through the corner piece hole is arranged on the cross beam support arm, and a manual lever for rotating the limit block to release the lock is arranged on a side of the cross beam support arm away from the container.

[0015] A limit block for locking the container through the corner fitting hole is arranged on the beam support arm, so that the container can be fixed on the flipping beam during the flipping process, so that the container is not easy to fall or shake during the flipping process; by arranging a manual lever for rotating the limit block to release the lock on the side of the beam support arm away from the container, it is possible to operate the locking block directly through the manual lever on the side of the beam support arm away from the container without reaching into the corner fitting, which is convenient and ensures safety.

[0016] Furthermore, the limit block includes a limit block head, a limit block neck, and a limit block tail; the limit block head is used to lock the container through the corner piece hole, so that the container is fixed on the beam support arm; the limit block tail passes through the through hole on the beam support arm and is connected to the manual lever; the limit block neck is gap-matched with the through hole to connect the limit block head and the limit block tail.

[0017] The limit block is configured with three parts: a head, a neck, and a tail. Through the clearance between the neck and the through hole, when the locking block is controlled by a manual lever, the locking block will not break or be unable to be locked or unlocked due to the friction of the through hole, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the device.

[0018] Furthermore, a sleeve is welded between the through hole and the neck of the limiting block for achieving the clearance fit.

[0019] By providing the shaft sleeve, it is possible to prevent the locking block from damaging the through hole or the locking block when the locking block moves in the through hole, thereby greatly reducing the occurrence of locking failure of the generating device.

[0020] Furthermore, the support portion includes a cross-beam support column installed at one end of the base for supporting the cross-beam support arm when not flipped; and a longitudinal beam support column installed at the other end of the base for supporting the longitudinal beam support arm after flipping, and the longitudinal beam support column is higher than the cross-beam support column.

[0021] The base is provided with a longitudinal beam support column for supporting the longitudinal beam support arm and a cross beam support column for supporting the cross beam support arm, which ensures that both support arms are supported before and after the flipping, and will not be broken by the force of the container when flipping and falling, thus ensuring the safety of the device.

[0022] Furthermore, the force-applying part comprises a hydraulic cylinder, a cylinder end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the base, and a piston end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the crossbeam support arm.

[0023] The hydraulic cylinder drives the beam support arm to rotate by extending and shortening, and has the advantages of large workload, smooth movement, safety and reliability.

[0024] Furthermore, the longitudinal beam support arm is provided with a rubber support pad for supporting the container during the overturning process.

[0025] Rubber supports are installed on the flip longitudinal beams to support the container during the flipping process, ensuring safety and reliability.

[0026] Furthermore, a reinforcement piece is welded at the hinge point, a rotation axis column is arranged on the base, and the flip mechanism is hinged to the rotation axis column through the reinforcement piece.

[0027] Reinforcement members are provided to enhance the reliability of the connection. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0036] Example of a turning tool for facilitating welding of energy storage containers:

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model of the turning tool for energy storage container welding comprises a rectangular tool support 1, a turning mechanism 3 for turning the energy storage container, a hydraulic drive mechanism 2 for connecting the tool support 1 and the turning mechanism 3 to provide power for the turning action, and a limit structure 4 for fixing the energy storage container to be turned; wherein the beams and columns at both end surfaces of the container contacting the turning mechanism 3 are a longitudinal beam and a transverse beam. The beams and columns contacted by the part of the turning mechanism 3 connected to the hydraulic drive mechanism 2 are transverse beams.

[0038] Specific structure such as Figure 2As shown, the four corners of the bottom surface of the tool support 1 are all provided with mounting feet 14 for fixing the tool support, and the top surface of the tool support 1 is provided with a flip crossbeam support column 11, a longitudinal beam support column 13, and a rotating shaft column 12, and the flip crossbeam support column 11, the rotating shaft column 12, and the longitudinal beam support column 13 form a straight line at the installation position of the top surface; wherein a flip crossbeam support column 11 for supporting the flip crossbeam is vertically arranged on one wide side of the top surface, and a longitudinal beam support column 13 slightly higher than the flip crossbeam support column 11 for supporting the flip longitudinal beam is vertically arranged at the corresponding position of the other wide side, and a rotating shaft column 12 for supporting the flip mechanism 3 is vertically arranged between the flip crossbeam support column 11 and the longitudinal beam support column 13;

[0039] The flip mechanism 3 includes a reinforcement 31, a cross beam support arm 32, a longitudinal beam support arm 33, and a rubber support 34. The cross beam support arm 32 and the longitudinal beam support arm 33 are installed perpendicular to each other. The reinforcement 31 is welded at the connection between the cross beam support arm 32 and the longitudinal beam support arm 33 to enhance the connection reliability. The reinforcement 31 is connected to the shaft column 12 through a pin. The length of the cross beam support arm 32 is equal to the length from the flip cross beam support column 11 to the shaft column 12, and the length of the longitudinal beam support arm 33 is equal to the length from the longitudinal beam support column 13 to the shaft column 12. The longitudinal beam support arm 33 is also provided with a rubber support 34 for supporting the energy storage container during the flipping process.

[0040] A hydraulic drive mechanism 2 is provided from the straight line area formed by the installation positions of the flip beam support column 11 and the shaft column 12 on the top surface to the beam support arm 32. The hydraulic drive mechanism 2 includes a hydraulic oil station, oil pipelines, and a hydraulic cylinder 21, which is used to provide flipping power for the flip mechanism 3. The cylinder end of the hydraulic cylinder 21 is connected to the tooling bracket 1 through a pin shaft, and the piston end is connected to the beam support arm 32 through a pin shaft. The hydraulic cylinder 21 drives the flip mechanism 3 to rotate by extending and shortening.

[0041] The limiting structure 4 includes a limiting block 41, a lever 42 and a sleeve 43. The limiting block 41 is installed from top to bottom in the sleeve 43 welded on the through hole of the beam support arm 32. Figure 4 As shown, the limit block is composed of three parts: a limit block head 411, a limit block neck 412, and a limit block tail 413; Figure 5 , 6As shown, the limit block head 411 is oblong and is used to cooperate with the oblong hole at the bottom of the container corner piece 5 when flipping to fix the container. The limit block neck 412 is the part inserted into the shaft sleeve, and the two are clearance-matched. The limit block neck 412 of the limit block 41 can be easily rotated in the shaft sleeve 43. The diameter of the limit block neck 412 is larger than the inner diameter of the shaft sleeve 43. The position of the limit block 41 is limited by the diameter of the limit block head 411. The outer surface of the limit block tail 413 is a spiral structure, which is used to install the manual lever 42.

[0042] When in use, two tools work at the same time, and the distance between the two turning tools is adjusted according to the size of the processing container. After the distance is adjusted, the turning tool is installed on the ground through the installation feet 14 of the tool support 1. The tool support also includes a turning cross beam support column 11, a rotation axis column 12, and a longitudinal beam support column 13. Before the turning starts, the turning cross beam support column 11 provides support for the cross beam support arm 32, and after the turning is completed, the longitudinal beam support column 13 provides support for the longitudinal beam support arm 33.

[0043] The flip mechanism is composed of a reinforcement member 31, a cross beam support arm 32, a longitudinal beam support arm 33, and a rubber support member 34. The reinforcement member 31 is connected to the rotating shaft column 12 through a pin, so that the flip mechanism can rotate around the rotating shaft column.

[0044] When flipping is required, the container is lifted by a crane and the position is adjusted so that the limit block 41 is vertically aligned with the hole of the container corner fitting 5, and then the container is dropped on the cross beam support arm 32. The limit block 41 is rotated 90° by manually rotating the lever 42, so that the container corner fitting 5 is fixed on the cross beam support arm 32, and then the hydraulic drive mechanism 2 is turned on. The hydraulic drive mechanism 2 can provide thrust and tension. In the initial startup stage, the hydraulic cylinder 21 provides thrust to push the flip mechanism 3 to rotate around the rotating shaft column 12; when the overall center of gravity passes the rotating shaft column 12 in the vertical direction, the hydraulic cylinder 21 provides tension to make the overall body slowly descend around the rotating shaft column 12 until the flip mechanism 3 falls to the surface of the longitudinal beam support column 13 of the tooling support 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 shown.

[0045] A rubber support 34 is installed on the longitudinal beam support arm 33 to provide support force for the container during the turning process. This turning mechanism has the advantages of simple structure and strong support force.
