DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention is now further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams that only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a shunt mechanism is installed on a base plate 100, including a base 200, a linear module 300 and a shunt assembly 400. The base 200 is installed horizontally in the middle of the base plate 100, and the linear module 300 is installed horizontally on the base 200. The shunt assembly 400 includes a U-shaped frame 410 and a conveying group 420. The bottom end of the U-shaped frame 410 is connected to the slide plate 310 on the linear module 300. The U-shaped frame 410 is arranged longitudinally, and the conveying group 420 is divided into two groups, which are arranged in parallel in the U-shaped frame 410. The battery cells on the single conveying channel are conveyed to a certain conveying channel in the double conveying channel by one conveying group 420 in the shunt assembly 400, and the other conveying group 420 caches the battery cells conveyed from the single conveying channel. Then the linear module 300 drives the shunt assembly 400 to reciprocate horizontally, thereby realizing the shunt of the battery cells. The structural design is simple, the shunt rhythm is fast, and it is ensured that the battery cells are always facing the entrance of the double conveying channel. Specifically, the single conveying channel is correspondingly arranged at the rear end of the diversion component 400, and the double conveying channel is correspondingly arranged at the front end of the diversion component 400; the linear module 300 is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0025] During diversion, the single conveying channel conveys the battery cells in an orderly manner, and the linear module 300 drives the diversion component 400 to reciprocate laterally. During the reciprocating laterally motion, a conveying group 420 in the diversion component 400 conveys the battery cells on the single conveying channel to one of the dual conveying channels, and at the same time, the other conveying group 420 buffers the battery cells conveyed from the single conveying channel for conveying to the other conveying channel in the dual conveying channels.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the conveying group 420 includes a main pulley 421, a secondary pulley 422, a synchronous belt 423 and a conveying motor 424. The main pulley 421 and the secondary pulley 422 are arranged side by side in the U-shaped frame 410 and are rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame 410. The synchronous belt 423 is driven by the main pulley 421 and the secondary pulley 422. The conveying motor 424 is installed on the U-shaped frame 410, and its output end is connected to the main pulley 421. Specifically, the main pulley 421 and the secondary pulley 422 are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the U-shaped frame 410.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the conveying group 420 also includes a support plate 425 and a guide plate 426. The support plate 425 is composed of two pieces and is symmetrically installed on the inner side of the U-shaped frame 410. The support plate 425 is arranged in the synchronous belt 423 and contacts the upper bottom surface of the synchronous belt 423. The guide plate 426 is composed of two pieces and is symmetrically installed on the inner side of the U-shaped frame 410. The top of the guide plate 426 protrudes from the synchronous belt 423. The front and rear ends of the guide plate 426 are respectively formed with inclined surfaces 427, and the inclined surfaces 427 on the two guide plates 426 form an eight-shaped shape. By setting the support plate 425, the battery cells conveyed on the synchronous belt 423 are supported to ensure that the battery cells are always in a stable state on the synchronous belt 423, so as to avoid excessive friction with the anti-deflection plate 520 in the anti-deflection assembly 500 during the conveying process; by setting the inclined surface 427, the battery cells conveyed by the single conveying channel are guided to the synchronous belt 423.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, an anti-deflection assembly 500 is arranged just above the U-shaped frame 410, and the anti-deflection assembly 500 includes an inverted U-shaped plate 510 and an anti-deflection plate 520. The inverted U-shaped plate 510 is arranged just above the U-shaped frame 410, and the anti-deflection plates 520 are arranged side by side in the inverted U-shaped plate 510, and each group of conveying groups 420 corresponds to two anti-deflection plates 520, and the anti-deflection plates 520 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the conveying group 420. Through the setting of the anti-deflection assembly 500, the battery cells conveyed on the conveying group 420 are limited to avoid the battery cells from being offset or tilted, and further ensure that the battery cells are facing the entrance of the double conveying channel. Specifically, the rear end of the anti-deflection plate 520 is provided with a guide surface, and the guide surfaces of the two anti-deflection plates 520 on the conveying group 420 form an eight-shaped shape, which guides the battery cells to enter between the two anti-deflection plates 520.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, a sensor 600 is provided in the inverted U-shaped plate 510, and the sensor 600 corresponds to the conveying group 420. By setting the sensor 600, the intelligent control operation of the two conveying groups 420 is realized. Specifically, the sensor 600 is respectively set at the front and rear ends of the inverted U-shaped plate 510.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the diversion mechanism also includes a transition assembly 700, which includes a mounting frame 710, a fixed shaft 720 and a plurality of sleeves 730. The fixed shaft 720 is arranged horizontally, and its two ends are respectively connected to the rear end of the U-shaped frame 410 through the mounting frame 710. The sleeve 730 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 720 and rotates with the fixed shaft 720. Through the setting of the transition assembly 700, the battery cell transportation between the single conveying channel and the conveying group 420 is transitioned, ensuring that the battery cells on the single conveying channel are smoothly conveyed to the conveying group 420. When the single conveying channel conveys the battery cells, the battery cells are placed on the sleeve 730 and move toward the conveying group 420.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the flow-dividing mechanism further includes a stabilizing assembly 800, which includes a guide rail 810 and a guide block 820.

The guide block 820 is mounted at the front end of the slide plate 310, and the guide rail 810 is slidably connected to the guide block 820. By setting the stabilizing assembly 800, the two-point connection of the flow-dividing assembly 400 is realized in combination with the slide plate 310, thereby improving the stability of the flow-dividing assembly 400 during the transverse reciprocating motion.
