[0002] In order to adapt to the high-efficiency production rhythm of batteries, transfer devices are usually used to realize the automatic flow of batteries between different platforms. However, due to the structural limitations of traditional transfer devices, when the docking action between different platforms is not completed, the battery can easily fall off the platform, resulting in the inability to effectively circulate the battery, affecting the battery production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a transfer device and a battery production system, which can reduce the probability of objects falling out and improve production efficiency while achieving effective object transfer.

[0004] In the first aspect, the present application provides a transfer device, which includes: a conveying platform; a docking platform, which moves relative to the conveying platform to enable the two to dock or undocking; wherein the transfer device also includes an anti-falling mechanism and a trigger member, the anti-falling mechanism is arranged on the conveying platform, and is used to limit the movement of objects on the conveying platform, and the trigger member is configured to enable the anti-falling mechanism to release the restriction on the object when the docking platform and the conveying platform are docked.

[0005] The above transfer device is provided with an anti-drop mechanism on the conveying platform, and the anti-drop mechanism is used to limit the movement of the object on the conveying platform. When the docking platform moves to dock with the conveying platform, the trigger member causes the anti-drop mechanism to release the restriction on the movement of the object, so that the object is effectively transferred from the conveying platform to the docking platform. Such a design reduces the probability of the object falling out while achieving effective object transfer, so that the transfer is stable and the production efficiency is improved.

[0006] In some embodiments, the trigger is disposed on the docking platform, and is coupled with the anti-drop mechanism when the docking platform is docked with the conveying platform, so that the anti-drop mechanism releases the restriction on the object. This design facilitates the trigger to move with the docking platform, and can synchronously trigger the anti-drop mechanism during docking, release the restriction on the object, and improve the docking efficiency.

[0007] In some embodiments, the anti-drop mechanism includes a base and a limiter movably disposed on the base, the base is disposed on the conveying platform, the limiter has a blocking portion on the conveying path of the object, and the trigger member can drive the blocking portion away from the conveying path of the object when it is matched with the limiter. In this design, the limiter movably disposed facilitates the trigger member to drive the blocking portion away from the conveying path of the object, thereby achieving effective transfer of the object and improving transfer efficiency.

[0008] In some embodiments, the trigger member has a driving surface, and the limiter is provided with a matching portion spaced from the blocking portion along its length direction, and the driving surface is configured to contact and lift the matching portion when moving along the movement direction of the docking platform. With such a design, the introduction of the driving surface and the matching portion facilitates lifting the limiter, so that the blocking portion is separated from the conveying path of the object, thereby effectively releasing the object.

[0009] In some embodiments, the matching portion is located between the blocking portion and the base. This design facilitates the driving surface to contact and lift the matching portion; or increases the rotation stroke of the blocking portion to facilitate the release of the object.

[0010] In some embodiments, the driving surface is configured as a surface inclined relative to the direction of movement.

[0011] In some embodiments, the anti-drop mechanism further includes a rolling element, which is sleeved on the matching portion and can rotate around its own axis, and the rolling surface of the rolling element is used to contact the driving surface. This design allows rolling friction between the rolling element and the driving surface, reducing wear between the rolling element and the driving surface; at the same time, it is also convenient for the driving surface to lift the matching portion, improving the convenience of release.

[0012] In some embodiments, one end of the stopper away from the blocking portion is rotatably connected to the base. With such a design, the stopper is driven to rotate during docking, so that the blocking portion is effectively rotated away from the conveying path of the object, thereby improving the convenience of release.

[0013] In some embodiments, the anti-drop mechanism further includes a first positioning member, which is disposed on the base and when in contact with the limiting member, the blocking portion is separated from the conveying path of the object. In this design, the first positioning member is introduced to limit the movable travel of the limiting member, so that the object can be released when the limiting member and the first positioning member are in contact, thereby achieving stable release.

[0014] In some embodiments, the anti-drop mechanism further includes a second positioning member, which is disposed on the base, and when the second positioning member contacts the limiting member, the blocking portion is located on the conveying path of the object. In this design, the second positioning member is introduced to limit the movable travel of the limiting member, so that the limiting member can block the object when it contacts the second positioning member, effectively reducing the risk of the object falling out during the transfer process.

[0015] In some embodiments, the anti-drop mechanism further includes a detection component, which is used to detect whether the blocking part is out of the conveying path of the object. With such a design and the introduction of the detection component, the current state of the blocking part can be accurately determined, which facilitates accurate control of the transfer operation of the object and improves the degree of automation.

[0016] In some embodiments, the detection assembly includes a detector and a matching piece, one of which is disposed on the base and the other on the stopper, and when the detector and the matching piece are inductively matched, the blocking portion is separated from the conveying path of the object. With such a design, the detector and the matching piece are introduced to facilitate accurate detection of the state of the blocking portion.

[0017] In some embodiments, the anti-drop mechanism further includes a mounting seat, which is arranged on the base and whose position on the base is adjustable along the movable path of the limiter, and the detector or the matching member is arranged on the mounting seat. In this design, the mounting seat is designed as an adjustable structure, which can change the position of the detector or the matching member, thereby enlarging or reducing the detection stroke between the detector and the matching member, so that the blocking part can adapt to the release and restriction of different objects.

[0018] In some embodiments, the mounting seat is rotatably connected to the base, the mounting seat is provided with an adjustment slot extending around its own rotation axis, the base is provided with a plurality of fixing holes spaced around the rotation axis, and the adjustment slot and the fixing holes are used to insert fasteners. In this design, the introduction of the adjustment slot and the plurality of fixing holes facilitates the rotation adjustment of the position of the mounting seat.

[0019] In some embodiments, the docking platform is arranged on at least one side of the conveying platform along its own conveying direction, and the docking platform moves in a direction intersecting the conveying direction; the conveying platform includes multiple conveying platforms, all of which are arranged in parallel, and each conveying platform has an anti-falling mechanism at one end facing the docking platform, and multiple triggers are arranged at intervals on the docking platform.

[0034] 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.

[0035] In order to adapt to the high-efficiency production rhythm of batteries, transfer devices are usually used to realize the automatic circulation of batteries between different platforms. For example, during the battery quality inspection process, it is necessary to transfer from one conveying platform to another conveying platform. During this period, a docking platform is needed to realize the transfer of batteries between different conveying platforms.

[0036] However, since both ends of the traditional conveying platform are in a passable state, the battery is prone to the risk of falling out during the transfer process. For example, if the program is confused or fails during the transfer process, the docking platform fails to connect with the conveying platform. At this time, the battery is discharged outward under the action of the conveying platform, causing the battery to fall off the platform, causing the transfer operation to fail to operate normally, and even causing the battery to be directly scrapped, affecting the battery production efficiency.

[0037] Based on this, in order to reduce the probability of the battery falling out during the transfer process, the present application provides a transfer device, in which an anti-falling mechanism is set on the conveying platform, and the anti-falling mechanism is used to limit the movement of the battery on the conveying platform. When the docking platform moves to dock with the conveying platform, the trigger member causes the anti-falling mechanism to release the restriction on the movement of the battery, and the restriction on the movement of the battery is released, so that the battery is effectively transferred from the conveying platform to the docking platform. With this design, the probability of the battery falling out is reduced while achieving effective battery transfer, so that the transfer can be stable and production efficiency can be improved.

[0038] It should be noted that the transfer device provided in the present application is not limited to the transfer of batteries, but can also be applied to the transfer of other objects, such as aluminum shells, battery boxes, etc.

[0039] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application provides a transfer device 100, which includes: a conveying platform 10, a docking platform 20, a trigger 30 and an anti-drop mechanism 40. The docking platform 20 moves relative to the conveying platform 10 to allow the two to dock or undocking; wherein the transfer device 100 also includes an anti-drop mechanism 40 and a trigger 30, the anti-drop mechanism 40 is provided on the conveying platform 10, and is used to restrict the movement of objects on the conveying platform 10. The trigger 30 is configured to enable the anti-drop mechanism 40 to release the restriction on the object when the docking platform 20 and the conveying platform 10 are docked.

[0040] The conveying platform 10 refers to a device that can drive objects to move on the conveyor, and its structure can have a variety of designs, such as: it can be but not limited to belt conveyor equipment, roller conveyor equipment, linear module, etc. Similarly, the docking platform 20 refers to a device that can receive objects output by the conveying platform 10, which can be but not limited to belt conveyor equipment, roller conveyor equipment, linear module, etc. During docking, the docking end of the docking platform 20 is aligned with one end of the conveying platform 10. At this time, the object is transferred to the docking platform 20 under the conveying action of the conveying platform 10. Among them, the object can be any object to be transferred, such as: batteries, etc. The docking end refers to the position where the object begins to enter the docking platform 20.

[0041] There are many ways for the docking platform 20 to move relative to the conveying platform 10, such as: the docking platform 20 moves closer to or away from the conveying platform 10 along the conveying direction X of the conveying platform 10; or, the docking platform 20 moves in a direction intersecting the conveying direction X of the conveying platform 10, etc. There are also many ways to achieve the relative movement of the docking platform 20, such as: driving the docking platform 20 to reciprocate through equipment with telescopic functions such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and electric cylinders; or, achieving the movement of the docking platform 20 through a combination of a motor and a transmission mechanism, such as: a combination of a motor and a screw slider, a combination of a motor and a gear, a rack, a combination of a motor and a crank slider mechanism, etc.

[0042] The anti-falling mechanism 40 refers to a structure that can limit the movement of objects on the conveying platform 10. When the docking platform 20 is not docked with the conveying platform 10, the anti-falling mechanism 40 limits the movement of objects, so that even if the conveying platform 10 has a program disorder or other fault, the objects will not fall out of the conveying platform 10.

[0043] The trigger 30 refers to a structure that can release the restriction on the movement of the object by the anti-drop mechanism 40. For example, when the trigger 30 contacts the anti-drop mechanism 40, the part of the anti-drop mechanism 40 that contacts the object can be mechanically lifted or pushed open; or, when the anti-drop mechanism 40 is an electric control device, the trigger 30 can contact the switch on the anti-drop mechanism 40, so that the anti-drop mechanism 40 releases the object. At the same time, in order to make the trigger 30 and the anti-drop mechanism 40 better contact when docking, the trigger 30 can be set on the docking end of the docking platform 20, and the anti-drop mechanism 40 is set on one end of the conveying platform 10. Of course, in other embodiments, the trigger 30 can also be set on the conveying platform 10. When the docking platform 20 is docked with the conveying platform 10, the trigger 30 is triggered to work, so that the anti-drop mechanism 40 releases the restriction on the object.

[0044] In addition, when the docking end of the docking platform 20 is disconnected from the conveying platform 10 , the trigger member 30 may be out of contact with the anti-falling mechanism 40 , and the anti-falling mechanism 40 restricts the movement of the object on the conveying platform 10 again.

[0045] This design reduces the probability of objects falling out while achieving effective object transfer, making the transfer stable and improving production efficiency.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The trigger member 30 is disposed on the docking platform 20 and is matched with the anti-falling mechanism 40 when the docking platform 20 is docked with the conveying platform 10, so that the anti-falling mechanism 40 releases the restriction on the object.

[0047] The trigger member 30 is disposed on the docking platform 20 and can move with the docking platform 20, so as to realize docking and releasing the restriction on the movement of objects simultaneously. The trigger member 30 can be fixed on the docking platform 20 by, but not limited to, bolt connection, clamping, riveting, bonding, etc.

[0048] Such a design facilitates the trigger member 30 to move together with the docking platform 20, and can synchronously trigger the anti-falling mechanism 40 to act during docking, thereby removing the restriction on the object and improving the docking efficiency.

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, please refer to Figure 3 The anti-falling mechanism 40 includes a base 41 and a limiting member 42 movably arranged on the base 41. The base 41 is arranged on the conveying platform 10. The limiting member 42 has a blocking portion 43 located on the conveying path 15 of the object. When the trigger member 30 is matched with the limiting member 42, the blocking portion 43 can be driven to separate from the conveying path 15 of the object.

[0050] The base 41 refers to a structure for the anti-drop mechanism 40 to be installed on the conveying platform 10, and its structure can be designed in various ways, such as but not limited to a block structure, a rod structure, etc. Specifically, in some embodiments, the base 41 includes a bottom plate 41a and a bracket 41b disposed on the bottom plate 41a, the bottom plate 41a is disposed on the conveying platform 10, and the limiter 42 is movably disposed on the bracket 41b. Among them, the installation method of the base 41 on the conveying platform 10 can be but not limited to bolt connection, clamping, riveting, welding, pin connection, bonding, etc.

[0051] The blocking portion 43 refers to a component that can prevent the object from continuing to move on the conveying platform 10. When the blocking portion 43 is on the conveying path 15 of the object, the blocking portion 43 can abut against the object to prevent it from continuing to move; when the blocking portion 43 is out of the conveying path 15 of the object, the object can continue to move without being affected by the blocking portion 43.

[0052] The stopper 42 is a component that can drive the blocking portion 43 to be in or out of the conveying path 15 of the object. The movement of the stopper 42 on the base 41 can be a rotational movement or a sliding movement. For example, the stopper 42 is arranged on the base 41 through a slider so that the stopper 42 can move along the conveying path 15. Figure 1 Middle, upper, lower or edge Figure 1 Slide the paper in the inside and outside directions, etc.

[0053] The conveying path 15 of the object refers to a three-dimensional channel structure formed by the movement of the object on the conveying platform 10. When the blocking portion 43 is in the conveying path 15, the movement of the object will be blocked; when the blocking portion 43 is out of the conveying path 15, the object can continue to move. The conveying path 15 of the object can be specifically determined according to the shape and volume of the object.

[0054] In addition, when the trigger member 30 is disengaged from the stop member 42, the stop member 42 can be restored to its initial position by its own gravity, so that the blocking portion 43 is again on the object conveying path 15. Of course, an elastic member such as a spring, a torsion spring, an elastic rubber, etc. can also be provided between the stop member 42 and the base 41, so that the stop member 42 can be restored to its initial position by elastic force.

[0055] With such a design, the movable limiting member 42 is utilized to facilitate the trigger member 30 to drive the blocking portion 43 to separate from the conveying path 15 of the object, thereby realizing effective transfer of the object and improving transfer efficiency.

[0056] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, please refer to Figure 3 The trigger member 30 has a driving surface 31, and the limiting member 42 is provided with a matching portion 44 spaced apart from the blocking portion 43 along its own length direction L. The driving surface 31 is configured to contact and lift the matching portion 44 when moving along the movement direction Y of the docking platform 20.

[0057] The coupling portion 44 refers to the portion where the stopper 42 contacts the trigger member 30. During docking, the docking platform 20 moves relative to the conveying platform 10, so that the docking end of the docking platform 20 is aligned with one end of the conveying platform 10. At the same time, during the docking process, the driving surface 31 contacts the coupling portion 44, and as the docking action continues, the driving surface 31 and the coupling portion 44 generate relative movement, so that the coupling portion 44 moves on the driving surface 31 in the direction opposite to the running direction. During the movement, the driving surface 31 can lift the coupling portion 44, drive the stopper 42 to move accordingly, so that the blocking portion 43 is out of the conveying path 15 of the object, and the object is released.

[0058] The matching portion 44 is spaced apart from the blocking portion 43 in the length direction L of the limiting member 42, so that the position where the limiting member 42 is lifted and the position where the object is blocked are spaced apart, so that the two do not interfere with each other. For example, when the blocking portion 43 is out of the conveying path 15 of the object, the trigger member 30 and the matching portion 44 are not on the conveying path 15 of the object. At the same time, the matching portion 44 can be located on the side of the blocking portion 43 away from the base 41, or between the blocking portion 43 and the base 41.

[0059] In addition, the driving surface 31 can be designed as an inclined surface or a curved surface. For example, the driving surface 31 can be designed as a semicircular concave surface or a semicircular convex surface, and the blocking portion 43 gradually rises on the semicircular concave surface or the semicircular convex surface during connection.

[0060] Such a design introduces the driving surface 31 and the matching portion 44 to facilitate lifting the limiting member 42 so that the blocking portion 43 is separated from the conveying path 15 of the object, thereby achieving effective release of the object.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The matching portion 44 is located between the blocking portion 43 and the base 41 .

[0062] When the movement of the stopper 42 is up and down lifting movement, the matching part 44 is located between the blocking part 43 and the base 41, which can facilitate the driving surface 31 to contact and lift the matching part 44. When the movement of the stopper 42 is rotational movement, the matching part 44 is located between the blocking part 43 and the base 41, which can increase the rotation stroke of the blocking part 43 and facilitate the release of the object.

[0063] In addition, to facilitate the contact between the driving surface 31 and the matching portion 44 , the matching portion 44 and the blocking portion 43 may be located at two opposite sides of the limiting member 42 .

[0064] Such a design facilitates the driving surface 31 to contact and lift the matching portion 44; or, increases the rotation stroke of the blocking portion 43, making it easier to release the object.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, please refer to Figure 3 The driving surface 31 is constructed as a surface inclined relative to the movement direction Y.

[0066] The driving surface 31 is an inclined surface, one end of which along the movement direction Y of the docking platform 20 is higher than the other end thereof. Thus, when the coupling portion 44 moves from the lower end to the higher end, the coupling portion 44 is also lifted up, causing the limiting member 42 to move, such as rotate, etc., thereby causing the blocking portion 43 to be lifted up accordingly and out of the conveying path 15 of the object.

[0067] In this way, the driving surface 31 is designed as an inclined surface, so that the matching portion 44 is gradually raised, so that the blocking portion 43 stably falls off the conveying path 15 of the object, and a stable release is achieved.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, please refer to Figure 5 The anti-drop mechanism 40 further includes a rolling member 45 , which is sleeved on the matching portion 44 and can rotate around its own axis. A rolling surface 451 of the rolling member 45 is used to contact the driving surface 31 .

[0069] The rolling element 45 is a structure that can rotate around its own axis. During the connection process, the rolling surface 451 of the rolling element 45 contacts the driving surface 31 and rolls around the axis on the driving surface 31 to lift the matching portion 44 .

[0070] The material of the rolling element 45 can be selected from a variety of options, such as metal, plastic, rubber, etc. At the same time, in order to facilitate the rolling of the rolling element 45 on the driving surface 31, the rolling element 45 can be designed as a cylindrical structure.

[0071] Such a design enables rolling friction between the rolling element 45 and the driving surface 31 , thereby reducing the wear between the rolling element 45 and the driving surface 31 ; meanwhile, it also facilitates the driving surface 31 to lift the matching portion 44 , thereby improving the convenience of release.

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, please refer to Figure 4 One end of the limiting member 42 away from the blocking portion 43 is rotatably connected to the base 41 .

[0073] It can be seen that during the docking process, the limiting member 42 rotates under the action of the trigger member 30, so that the blocking portion 43 rotates away from the conveying path 15 of the object.

[0074] In order to facilitate the rotation of the limiting member 42 , a mounting groove 41 c may be provided on the base 41 , and one end of the limiting member 42 is fixed to the groove wall of the mounting groove 41 c through a rotating shaft 421 .

[0075] In addition, when the docking platform 20 is disconnected from the conveying platform 10 , the limiting member 42 can return to the initial position by its own weight.

[0076] With such a design, the limiting member 42 is driven to rotate during docking, so that the blocking portion 43 is effectively rotated away from the conveying path 15 of the object, thereby improving the convenience of release.

[0077] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, please refer to Figure 4 The anti-falling mechanism 40 further includes a first positioning member 47 , which is disposed on the base 41 , and when the first positioning member 47 abuts against the limiting member 42 , the blocking portion 43 is separated from the conveying path 15 of the object.

[0078] The first positioning member 47 refers to a structure that can abut against the limiting member 42 so that the limiting member 42 stays at the limit position, and can be a block structure or a rod structure. Of course, in order to make the limiting member 42 and the first positioning member 47 contact flexibly, a buffer structure, such as a rubber pad, can be set at one end of the first positioning member 47.

[0079] With such a design, the first positioning member 47 is introduced to limit the movable travel of the limiting member 42, so that the object can be released when the limiting member 42 and the first positioning member 47 are in contact, thereby achieving stable release.

[0080] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, please refer to Figure 4 The anti-falling mechanism 40 further includes a second positioning member 48 , which is disposed on the base 41 , and when the second positioning member 48 abuts against the limiting member 42 , the blocking portion 43 is located on the conveying path 15 of the object.

[0081] The second positioning member 48 is a structure that can abut against the limiting member 42 so that the limiting member 42 stays at the limit position. It can be a block structure or a rod structure. Of course, in order to make the limiting member 42 and the second positioning member 48 contact flexibly, a buffer structure, such as a rubber pad, can be set at one end of the second positioning member 48.

[0082] Specifically in some embodiments, on the movable path of the limiting member 42 , the limiting member 42 is located between the first positioning member 47 and the second positioning member 48 .

[0083] With such a design, the second positioning member 48 is introduced to limit the movable travel of the limiting member 42, so that the limiting member 42 and the second positioning member 48 can block the object when they are in contact, effectively reducing the risk of the object falling out during the transfer process.

[0084] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, please refer to Figure 6 The anti-falling mechanism 40 further includes a detection component 46, which is used to detect whether the blocking portion 43 is out of the conveying path 15 of the object.

[0085] The detection component 46 refers to a component that has the function of detecting whether the blocking portion 43 is out of the conveying path 15 of the object. For example, the detection component 46 can be, but is not limited to, a pressure-sensitive sensor, a light-sensitive sensor, a Hall sensor, etc.

[0086] When the detection component 46 detects that the blocking portion 43 is out of the conveying path 15 of the object, a signal can be fed back to a controller, such as a single chip microcomputer, a programmable logic controller, etc. After receiving the signal, the controller can control the conveying platform 10 to continue to drive the object to move and transfer it to the docking platform 20.

[0087] With such a design, the detection component 46 is introduced to accurately determine the current state of the blocking portion 43, thereby facilitating accurate control of the object transfer operation and improving the degree of automation.

[0088] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, please refer to Figure 6 The detection assembly 46 includes a detector 461 and a matching piece 462. One of the detector 461 and the matching piece 462 is disposed on the base 41, and the other is disposed on the limiter 42. When the detector 461 and the matching piece 462 are inductively matched, the blocking portion 43 is separated from the conveying path 15 of the object.

[0089] The detector 461 and the matching part 462 refer to components that generate induction signals after cooperating with each other. For example, the detector 461 can be a slot-type photoelectric sensor, and the matching part 462 can be a shielding plate; or, the detector 461 can be a Hall element, and the matching part 462 can be a magnet, etc.

[0090] Specifically in some embodiments, when the detector 461 and the matching member 462 are inductively matched, the first positioning member 47 abuts against the limiting member 42 .

[0091] With such a design, the detector 461 and the matching piece 462 are introduced to facilitate accurate detection of the state of the blocking portion 43 .

[0092] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, please refer to Figure 6 The anti-falling mechanism 40 also includes a mounting seat 463 , which is disposed on the base 41 , and a position of the mounting seat 463 on the base 41 is adjustable along the movable path of the limiting member 42 , and the detector 461 or the matching member 462 is disposed on the mounting seat 463 .

[0093] The mounting seat 463 refers to a structure for fixing the detector 461 or the matching member 462 on the base 41. The mounting seat 463 is adjustable along the movable path of the limiter 42, so that the position of the detector 461 or the matching member 462 can be changed and the detection stroke can be adjusted. For example, when the movable path of the limiter 42 is a linear path, the mounting seat 463 is adjusted along the linear path; when the movable path of the limiter 42 is an arc path, the mounting seat 463 can be adjusted along the arc path.

[0094] In this way, the mounting seat 463 is designed to be an adjustable structure, which can change the position of the detector 461 or the matching piece 462, thereby enlarging or reducing the detection stroke between the detector 461 and the matching piece 462, so that the blocking part 43 can adapt to the release and restriction of different objects.

[0095] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6The mounting seat 463 is rotatably connected to the base 41. The mounting seat 463 is provided with an adjustment slot 46b extending around its own rotation axis 46a. The base 41 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 411 spaced around the rotation axis 46a. The adjustment slot 46b and the fixing holes 411 are used to insert fasteners.

[0096] The adjustment slot 46b refers to a structure extending around the rotation axis 46a, which may be an arcuate slot structure. The number of the adjustment slots 46b may be one or more. When the number of the adjustment slots 46b is more than one, all the adjustment slots 46b may be spaced apart around the rotation axis 46a.

[0097] It is easy to understand that a plurality of fixing holes 411 are arranged at intervals around the rotation axis 46a. When adjusting, the fasteners can be inserted into the adjustment slots 46b and then fixedly inserted into different fixing holes 411 to achieve the rotation adjustment of the position of the mounting seat 463. The adjustment slots 46b can be arranged to penetrate along the thickness direction of the mounting seat 463, and the fasteners can be bolts, screws, pins, rivets, etc.

[0098] With such a design, the adjusting slot 46 b and the plurality of fixing holes 411 are introduced to facilitate rotational adjustment of the position of the mounting seat 463 .

[0099] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, please refer to Figure 1 The docking platform 20 is arranged on at least one side of the conveying platform 10 along its own conveying direction X, and the docking platform 20 moves in a direction intersecting the conveying direction X. The conveying platform 10 includes a plurality of conveying platforms 10, all of which are arranged in parallel in sequence, and each conveying platform 10 has an anti-drop mechanism 40 at one end facing the docking platform 20, and a plurality of trigger members 30 are arranged at intervals on the docking platform 20.

[0100] The docking platform 20 is provided with a plurality of trigger members 30 . During docking, the same docking platform 20 can utilize the trigger members 30 to simultaneously release the restriction on the movement of the object by the anti-falling mechanism 40 .

[0101] For specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The docking platforms 20 include two, and the two docking platforms 20 are respectively located on both sides of the conveying platform 10 along the conveying direction X. In this way, the objects can be transferred in a rotary manner by using the two docking platforms 20.

[0102] With such a design, a plurality of trigger members 30 are provided on the docking platform 20, and the traffic restrictions on a plurality of conveying platforms 10 can be released simultaneously, which is beneficial to improving the docking efficiency.

[0103] According to some embodiments of the present application, the present application provides a battery production system, and the battery production system includes any one of the above transfer devices 100.

[0104] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The present application provides a transfer device 100, comprising two docking platforms 20, two conveying platforms 10, a trigger 30 and an anti-drop mechanism 40. The two docking platforms 20 are located on opposite sides of each conveying platform 10, and the trigger 30 is designed as a slope block with a driving surface 31. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the transfer device 100 moves clockwise, when the right docking platform 20 has not reached the docking position, the anti-falling mechanism 40 can limit the object from escaping from the conveying platform 10 at the second position 12, and when the left docking platform 20 has not reached the docking position, the anti-falling mechanism 40 can limit the object from escaping from the conveying platform 10 at the third position 13; when the transfer device 100 moves counterclockwise, when the right docking platform 20 has not reached the docking position, the anti-falling mechanism 40 can limit the object from escaping from the conveying platform 10 at the first position 11, and when the left docking platform 20 has not reached the docking position, the anti-falling mechanism 40 can limit the object from escaping from the conveying platform 10 at the fourth position 14.

[0105] Specific as Figure 3 There is a sloped block at the docking platform 20. When the docking platform 20 moves to the docking position, the sloped block opens the anti-falling mechanism 40, and the objects in the previous workstation flow into the docking platform 20. After the objects move into place, the docking mechanism moves to another workstation. At this time, there is no external force acting on the anti-falling mechanism 40, and the anti-falling mechanism 40 is reset to limit the material from falling out.

[0106] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0107] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
