Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of battery processing technology, and more specifically, to a transportation device. Background Art

[0002] During the battery production process, the batteries are generally placed in trays and transported by a transport device. However, when the trays containing batteries are placed in the transport device, adjacent trays may be close to each other.

[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the transportation equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application is now described. The transportation equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a transportation device 1, a material dividing device 2 and an elastic guide device 3. The transportation device 1 is used to transport workpieces, and the material dividing device 2 is arranged on one side of the discharge end of the transportation device 1. The material dividing device 2 is used to divide the workpieces. The elastic guide device 3 includes a guide component 31 and an elastic component 32. The elastic component 32 is installed on the other side of the discharge end of the transportation device 1. The elastic component 32 is used to move the workpiece from the other side of the discharge end of the transportation device 1 toward the direction close to the material dividing device 2. The guide component 31 is connected to the elastic component 32. The guide component 31 is arranged at the junction of the transportation device 1 and the material dividing device 2 to guide the workpiece from the transportation device 1 into the material dividing device 2.

[0034] The workpiece in the embodiment of the present application may be a battery, a battery cell or other processed workpiece. The workpiece to which the present application is applicable is a tray containing a battery to be processed.

[0035] The transport device 1 can be a belt transmission device driven by a rotary motor, the rotary motor drives the belt to move, and the workpiece is placed on the belt. The transport device 1 can also be a mobile platform driven by a rotary motor, including a rotary motor, a screw, a slider, a guide rail and a mobile platform, the rotary motor is connected to the screw by transmission, the slider is connected to the screw by thread, the slider is connected to the guide rail by sliding, the mobile platform is installed on the slider, and several workpieces can be placed on the mobile platform.

[0039] After the transport device 1 transports the workpiece to the discharge end of the transport device 1, since the transport device 1 is always transporting, the workpiece can flow into the dividing device 2 along the guiding direction of the guide component 31 after abutting against the guide component 31, and the dividing device 2 can separate the adjacent workpieces. In this way, the processing device will not damage the workpieces adjacent to the current workpiece when processing the workpiece, thereby reducing the loss rate of the workpiece. The processing device will not stop due to the influence of other workpieces when processing the workpiece, thereby improving the processing efficiency.

[0040] When the guide assembly 31 of the elastic guide device 3 guides the workpiece into the material distribution device 2, since the time when the workpiece enters the material distribution device 2 may not match the material distribution timing of the material distribution device 2, when the workpiece is about to enter the material distribution device 2, but the material distribution device 2 has not run to the timing of receiving the workpiece, the workpiece will abut against the corner of the material distribution device 2, and will not flow smoothly into the material distribution device 2. In this case, the workpiece will abut against the guide assembly 31 and compress the elastic assembly 32. When the material distribution device 2 runs to the timing of receiving the workpiece, the elastic assembly 32 will push the guide assembly 31 to move the workpiece from the other side of the discharge end of the transport device 1 toward the material distribution device 2, so that the workpiece bounces toward the material distribution device 2. In this way, the workpiece can be prevented from piling up at the junction of the transport device 1 and the material distribution device 2, and the material distribution can be prevented from getting stuck.

The fixing screw passes through the angle adjustment hole 3122 and is threadedly connected with the mounting hole 3111. The head of the fixing screw abuts against the edge of the angle adjustment hole 3122 to fix the angle between the guide portion 3121 and the mounting member 311.

[0044] The angle adjustment hole 3122 in the embodiment of the present application is an arc-shaped waist-shaped hole, and the angle between the guide part 3121 and the mounting member 311 can be adjusted along the arc direction of the waist-shaped hole. In addition, the angle adjustment hole 3122 can also be set as a round hole. The first guide member 312 is installed by fixing the screw, the angle adjustment hole 3122 and the mounting hole 3111 to facilitate the adjustment of the angle between the guide part 3121 and the mounting member 311, and compared with using a rotating motor to adjust the angle, the cost is lower, the structure is relatively simple, and it is easy to implement.

The fixing member 321 and the elastic member 322 can be installed on one side of the transport device 1, and the vertical rod of the connecting member 323 can extend above the transport device 1, so that the guide assembly 31 is set above the transport device 1, so that the guide assembly 31 can abut against the middle of the workpiece, preventing the guide assembly 31 from abutting against the lower part of the workpiece to cause the workpiece to tip over during movement.

[0047] The elastic component 32 also includes a second guide member 324, which includes a guide portion and a sliding portion. The guide portion is slidably connected to the sliding portion.

If the elastic member 322 is a spring, the spring may be sleeved on the linear bearing. When the guide assembly 31 compresses the elastic member 322 by pushing the connecting member 323, the second guide member 324 may ensure that the displacement direction does not deviate when the connecting member 323 compresses the elastic member 322, and the elastic member 322 is evenly stressed, thereby reducing the loss rate of the elastic member 322.

[0050] When the transport device 1 needs to control the production sequence to prevent the workpiece from entering the production process, the blocking device 4 can intercept the workpiece at the junction of the transport device 1 and the material separation device 2. The blocking device 4 can be a baffle driven by a drive device such as a linear motor, a cylinder or an electric cylinder, and the baffle is set at the junction of the transport device 1 and the material separation device 2.

[0053] The first driving member 41 can also be a linear motor, an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, and the stopper 42 includes a hook and a swing arm, and the swing arm is mounted on the mounting plate through a rotating shaft. Taking a linear motor as an example, the driving shaft of the linear motor is hinged to the swing arm, and when the driving shaft of the linear motor moves, it can drive the swing arm of the stopper 42 to rotate on the rotating shaft, thereby controlling the hook of the stopper 42 to abut against the workpiece.

[0054] Preferably, a first groove 421 is provided on the blocking member 42 , and the workpiece can be clamped in the first groove 421 .

[0055] Since the workpiece mainly applicable to the embodiment of the present application is a tray containing batteries, the side of the tray is set to be an arc shape, and the first groove 421 on the stopper 42 can also be set to be an arc groove adapted to the side of the tray, and the first groove 421 can be set to an adapted arc according to the shape of the workpiece.

[0058] When the guide component 31 of the elastic guide device 3 guides the workpiece into the second groove 221 in the rotating ratchet 22, the second groove 221 of the ratchet 22 may not rotate to be exactly opposite to the workpiece, and the workpiece will abut against the convex portion of the ratchet 22. The workpiece will abut against the guide component 31 and compress the elastic component 32. When the second groove 221 of the ratchet 22 runs to be opposite to the workpiece, the elastic component 32 will push the guide component 31 to bounce the workpiece into the second groove 221 of the ratchet 22.
