[0080] At present, from the perspective of market development, the application of power batteries is becoming more and more extensive. Power batteries are not only used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power stations, but also widely used in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric cars, as well as military equipment and aerospace and other fields. With the continuous expansion of the application field of power batteries, the market demand is also constantly expanding.

[0081] In the present application, battery cells may include lithium-ion secondary batteries, lithium-ion primary batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, sodium-lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries or magnesium-ion batteries, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Battery cells may be cylindrical, flat, rectangular or other shapes, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Battery cells are generally divided into three types according to the packaging method: cylindrical battery cells, square battery cells and soft-pack battery cells, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0082] During the manufacturing process, the battery cell needs to be wrapped with an insulating film. The battery cell is in a vertical state before wrapping. The battery cell needs to be flipped 90° from a vertical state to a horizontal state. The currently used flipping mechanism needs to first clamp the vertical battery cell from the previous station, then flip it 90° to a horizontal state. After the flipping is completed, the battery cell is released to the next station, and then returned to the previous station to repeat the operation. The flipping mechanism requires multiple actions to be connected when flipping a battery cell, and the flipping efficiency is low. In order to improve the flipping efficiency of battery cells, the present application provides the following technical solutions.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 The structure diagram of the flipping device 1000 of some embodiments of the present application. The flipping device 1000 of the embodiment of the present application includes a base 100, a rotating member 12, a feeding mechanism 200 and a flipping mechanism 300, the rotating member 12 is rotatably disposed on the base 100, the feeding mechanism 200 is disposed on the base 100 and is used to transfer the battery cell 2000 in the first state, the flipping mechanism 300 is disposed on the rotating member 12 and is located on one side of the feeding mechanism 200, and the flipping mechanism 300 is used to receive the battery cell 2000 in the first state and can rotate with the rotating member 12 to flip the battery cell 2000 in the first state to the second state.

[0084] Specifically, the base 100 is used to carry the feeding mechanism 200 and the flipping mechanism 300. The base 100 can be composed of a bottom plate 111 and a side plate 112. The bottom plate 111 and the side plate 112 can be regular shapes such as rectangles, or irregular shapes. The bottom plate 111 and the side plate 112 can be mechanically connected or integrally formed. The base 100 and the feeding mechanism 200 are formed with a plurality of threaded holes 10. The feeding mechanism 200 can be fixed to the base 100 by fasteners such as bolts and screws. The flipping mechanism 300 can also be fixed to the rotating member 12 by fasteners such as bolts and screws. The rotating member 12 can rotate relative to the base 100 to drive the flipping mechanism 300 to rotate.

[0085] The battery cell 2000 in the first state enters the feeding mechanism 200 from one end of the feeding mechanism 200, moves out of the feeding mechanism 200 from the other end of the feeding mechanism 200 and moves into the flipping mechanism 300. After the flipping mechanism 300 flips the battery cell 2000 in the first state to the second state, the battery cell 2000 in the second state is moved out of the flipping mechanism 300 and moved into the next workstation.

[0086] The distance between two adjacent battery cells 2000 can be set by the movement time and flipping time of the battery cells 2000 on the feeding mechanism 200 and the flipping mechanism 300, and the movement time and flipping time of the battery cells 2000 on the feeding mechanism 200 and the flipping mechanism 300 can also be set by the distance between two adjacent battery cells 2000.

[0087] In the flipping device 1000 of the embodiment of the present application, the feeding mechanism 200 and the flipping mechanism 300 are independently arranged. While the feeding mechanism 200 transfers the next battery cell 2000 to the flipping mechanism 300, the flipping mechanism 300 can drive the previous battery cell 2000 to flip. The feeding mechanism 200 and the flipping mechanism 300 work simultaneously, which improves the flipping efficiency of the battery cell 2000, thereby improving the production efficiency of the battery cell 2000.

[0088] In certain embodiments, a flip angle between the battery cell 2000 in the first state and the battery cell 2000 in the second state is 90°.

[0089] Specifically, the first state may be a vertical state, and the second state may be a horizontal state.

[0090] In this way, the flipping device 1000 can flip the battery cell 2000 in a vertical state into the battery cell 2000 in a horizontal state, so as to cover the battery cell 2000 with a layer of insulating film.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of the base 100 of some embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the rotating member 12 includes a rotating shaft 121 and a mounting plate 122, the mounting plate 122 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 121, the flip mechanism 300 is fixed on the mounting plate 122, and the rotating shaft 121 can rotate relative to the base 100 to drive the mounting plate 122 to rotate.

[0092] Specifically, the shape of the rotating shaft 121 can be cylindrical, and the shape of the mounting plate 122 can be a circular plate structure or a rectangular plate structure. The mounting plate 122 and the rotating shaft 121 can be integrally formed or mechanically connected. The flipping mechanism 300 can be fixed to the mounting plate 122 by fasteners such as bolts and screws, and the rotating shaft 121 can rotate around its own central axis.

[0093] In this way, the rotating shaft 121 can drive the mounting plate 122 to rotate relative to the base 100 , thereby driving the flipping mechanism 300 to rotate relative to the base 100 , thereby flipping the battery cell 2000 on the flipping mechanism 300 .

[0094] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the number of mounting plates 122 and the flipping mechanism 300 are both multiple and arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and the multiple mounting plates 122 are arranged along the circumference of the rotating shaft 121.

[0095] Specifically, the number of the mounting plates 122 and the flipping mechanism 300 may be four, the four mounting plates 122 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the rotating shaft 121, the angle formed by two adjacent mounting plates 122 is 90°, and the four flipping mechanisms 300 are respectively fixed between two adjacent mounting plates 122. When the rotating member 12 is in a stationary state, two of the opposing mounting plates 122 are parallel to the height direction of the battery cell 2000 in the first state, and the other two opposing mounting plates 122 are perpendicular to the height direction of the battery cell 2000 in the first state.

[0096] In this way, the plurality of mounting plates 122 and the plurality of flipping mechanisms 300 can realize the continuous flipping of the plurality of battery cells 2000 , shortening the waiting time between flipping the last battery cell 2000 and flipping the next battery cell 2000 , thereby improving the flipping efficiency of the battery cells 2000 .

[0099] Thus, the first driving assembly 13 can drive the rotating shaft 121 to rotate relative to the base 100 , so that the mounting plate 122 rotates relative to the base 100 , and then drives the flipping mechanism 300 to rotate relative to the base 100 , thereby flipping the battery cell 2000 on the flipping mechanism 300 .

[0100] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first driving assembly 13 includes a first driving member 131 and a first transmission component 132 , the first driving member 131 is fixed on the base 100 , and the first transmission component 132 connects the base 100 and the rotating shaft 121 .

[0101] Specifically, the first driving member 131 may be a motor or a cylinder. The first driving member 131 may be fixed to the base 100 by fasteners such as bolts. When the first driving member 131 is a motor, the first transmission member 132 is connected to the output shaft of the first driving member 131 to transmit the movement of the first driving member 131 to the rotating shaft 121, so that the rotating shaft 121 rotates.

In some embodiments, the flip mechanism 300 includes a first adjustment component 35, and the first adjustment component 35 is used to limit the height of the battery cell 2000 in the first state on the first roller 30.

[0137] Specifically, the first adjustment component 35 can be adjusted according to the height of the battery cell 2000, with the direction of movement of the battery cell 2000 as the front. When the height of the battery cell 2000 is higher than the height of the first adjustment component 35, the battery cell 2000 cannot move on the first roller 30. When the height of the battery cell 2000 is lower than the height of the first adjustment component 35, the battery cell 2000 is prone to rocking back and forth.

[0138] In this way, the first adjusting assembly 35 can adjust the height of the battery cell 2000 in the first state on the first roller 30 , so that the battery cell 2000 can move smoothly on the first roller 30 .

[0139] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first adjustment component 35 includes a first fixed member 351 and a first movable member 353.

[0141] In this way, the first moving member 353 can be adjusted according to the height of the battery cell 2000 to limit the height of the battery cell 2000 on the first roller 30 , so that the battery cell 2000 can move smoothly on the first roller 30 .

[0142] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the flipping mechanism 300 includes a second adjustment component 36 and a baffle 37, which are located on one side of the second roller 33.

The width of the first conveying channel 361 may be the distance between the baffle 37 and the second roller 33, and the height of the first conveying channel 361 may be the distance between the baffle 37 and the first roller 30.

[0144] The second adjustment component 36 can adjust the baffle 37 according to the height and thickness of the battery cell 2000. With the direction of movement of the battery cell 2000 as the front, when the height of the baffle 37 is higher than the height of the battery cell 2000, the battery cell 2000 is prone to rocking back and forth; when the thickness of the battery cell 2000 is greater than the width of the first transmission channel 361, the battery cell 2000 cannot move on the first roller 30; when the thickness of the battery cell 2000 is less than the width of the first transmission channel 361, the battery cell 2000 is prone to rocking left and right.

[0145] In this way, the second adjustment assembly 36 can adjust the width of the first conveying passage 361 and / or the height of the baffle 37 , so that the battery cells 2000 can move smoothly on the first conveying passage 361 .

The second moving member 363 and the baffle 37 can be integrally formed or mechanically connected. When the second moving member 363 is installed in different mounting holes 364 of the second fixing member 362, the height of the baffle 37 can be adjusted, and when the second moving member 363 moves along the mounting holes 364, the width of the first transmission channel can be adjusted.

[0148] In this way, the second moving member 363 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the battery cell 2000 , thereby adjusting the width of the first conveying channel 361 and / or the height of the baffle 37 , so that the battery cell 2000 can move smoothly on the first conveying channel 361 .

[0151] In this way, the battery cells 2000 in the first state can be transferred from the feeding mechanism 200 to the turning mechanism 300 for turning through the fourth driving assembly 22 .

[0152] Please refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the fourth driving assembly 22 includes a fourth driving member and a fourth transmission component 221, the fourth driving member is fixed on the support frame 21, and the fourth transmission component 221 is connected to the fourth driving member.

[0153] Specifically, the fourth driving member can be a motor or a cylinder. The fourth driving member can be fixed to the support frame 21 by fasteners such as bolts. When the fourth driving member is a motor, the fourth transmission component 221 is connected to the output shaft of the fourth driving member, and the movement of the fourth driving member drives the movement of the fourth transmission component 221. The fourth driving member can be a stepping motor, and the start and stop of the fourth driving member can be set according to the time when two adjacent battery cells 2000 enter the feeding mechanism 200.

[0154] In this way, the fourth driving member can drive the fourth transmission component 221 to move, so as to transfer the battery cell 2000 in the first state.

[0155] Please refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the fourth transmission component 221 includes a seventh synchronous wheel 222, an eighth synchronous wheel 223 and a conveyor belt 224, the seventh synchronous wheel 222 is connected to the fourth driving member, the eighth synchronous wheel 223 is connected to the support frame 21, and the conveyor belt 224 is wound around the seventh synchronous wheel 222 and the eighth synchronous wheel 223.

[0156] Specifically, the seventh synchronous wheel 222 and the eighth synchronous wheel 223 can be made of materials such as steel, aluminum alloy, cast iron and brass, and the inner holes of the seventh synchronous wheel 222 and the eighth synchronous wheel 223 can be round holes, D-shaped holes and tapered holes, etc. The inner circumferential surface of the conveyor belt 224 is provided with teeth with equal spacing with the seventh synchronous wheel 222 and the eighth synchronous wheel 223. When moving, the teeth of the conveyor belt 224 mesh with the tooth grooves of the seventh synchronous wheel 222 and the eighth synchronous wheel 223 to transmit motion and power.

[0157] After the fourth driving member is started, the fourth driving member drives the seventh synchronous wheel 222 to rotate, the tooth groove of the seventh synchronous wheel 222 engages with the teeth of the conveyor belt 224, the rotation of the seventh synchronous wheel 222 drives the conveyor belt 224 to move, the teeth of the conveyor belt 224 engage with the tooth grooves of the eighth synchronous wheel 223, the movement of the conveyor belt 224 drives the eighth synchronous wheel 223 to rotate, the battery cell 2000 is located on the conveyor belt 224, and the conveyor belt 224 moves to transport the battery cell 2000 to the flipping mechanism 300.

[0158] In this way, the seventh synchronous wheel 222 is connected to the fourth driving member, so that the conveyor belt 224 can be moved to convey the battery cells 2000 located on the conveyor belt 224 .

[0159] Please refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism 200 includes a detector 23 , which is located on one side of the conveyor belt 224 . The detector 23 is used to detect whether the battery cells 2000 have a tendency to enter or move out of the conveyor belt 224 .

[0160] Specifically, the detector 23 may be a fiber optic sensor, and the detector 23 may be located at one end of the conveyor belt 224 away from the flipping mechanism 300. When the battery cell 2000 enters the conveyor belt 224, the detector 23 may send a signal to the fourth driving member, and the fourth driving member starts to work according to the signal.

[0161] The number of the detectors 23 can be multiple, for example, two, three, four, etc., and the multiple detectors 23 are spaced apart along the length direction of the conveyor belt 224. The detectors 23 can move relative to the conveyor belt 224, so that the spacing between the multiple detectors 23 can be adjusted according to the length of the battery cell 2000. When the battery cell 2000 moves out of the conveyor belt 224 and the multiple detectors 23 cannot detect the battery cell 2000, the detector 23 can send a signal to the fourth driving member, and the fourth driving member stops working according to the signal.

[0162] In some embodiments, the detector 23 can be located at one end of the conveyor belt 224 close to the flipping mechanism 300.

The second driving member 311 starts working according to the signal to rotate the first roller 30 to convey the battery cell 2000.

[0163] In this way, the detector 23 can detect the position of the battery cell 2000 on the conveyor belt 224 to control the second driving member 311 and the fourth driving member to prevent the battery cell 2000 on the conveyor belt 224 from interfering with the flipping mechanism 300 and affecting the flipping of the flipping mechanism 300 .

The third adjusting component 25 is used to adjust the position of the guide bar 24 to adjust the width of the second conveying channel 241 and / or the height of the guide bar 24.

[0168] Specifically, the width of the second conveying channel 241 may be the distance between the two guide bars 24, and the third adjusting member may adjust the guide bar 24 according to the thickness of the battery cell 2000. When the thickness of the battery cell 2000 is greater than the width of the first conveying channel 361, the battery cell 2000 cannot move on the first roller 30, and when the thickness of the battery cell 2000 is less than the width of the first conveying channel 361, the battery cell 2000 is prone to shaking.
