[0028] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 4 The utility model is described as follows: a line transfer device 100 and a lithium battery production line provided by the utility model.
[0029] In view of the problem in the conventional technology that when a station of a production line fails, products may pile up or the line may stop, which seriously affects the processing efficiency, the utility model provides a line transfer device 100, including a conveyor line structure 110 and a line transfer mechanism 120.
[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 The conveyor line structure 110 includes a first conveyor line 111 and a second conveyor line 112 arranged side by side. One side of the first conveyor line 111 and the second conveyor line 112 is used to set production equipment. The two production equipments arranged opposite to each other along the first conveyor line 111 or the second conveyor line 112 are arranged in a mirror image.
[0031] The line transfer mechanism 120 is rotatably arranged between the first conveyor line 111 and the second conveyor line 112, and the two ends of the line transfer mechanism 120 are respectively connected to the first conveyor line 111 and the second conveyor line 112, and are used to exchange and transfer materials between the first conveyor line 111 and the second conveyor line 112, and complete the material transfer. It should be noted that by setting the line transfer mechanism 120, when a certain station on a certain conveyor line fails, it can be transferred to a station of another conveyor line for processing through the line transfer mechanism 120, and the line can be kept from stopping when a production line fails, ensuring production efficiency. Taking a certain station on the first conveyor line 111 as an example, at this time, the battery cell on the first conveyor line 111 is transferred to the line transfer mechanism 120, the head of the battery cell faces the first conveyor line 111, and the tail faces the second conveyor line 112, and then the line transfer mechanism 120 rotates so that the tail of the battery cell faces the first conveyor line 111, the head faces the first conveyor line 111, and is transferred from the line transfer mechanism 120 to the second conveyor line 112. Since the production equipment on the second conveyor line 112 is arranged in a mirror image with that on the first conveyor line 111, the battery cells in the transferred direction can be conveniently processed further.
[0032] In order to realize fully automated operation, the first conveyor line 111 and the second conveyor line 112 are both provided with a lifting and transferring mechanism 130, and each lifting and transferring mechanism 130 is provided corresponding to the line transfer mechanism 120. It should be noted that a plurality of line transfer mechanisms 120 may be provided correspondingly between the first conveyor line 111 and the second conveyor line 112, and specifically, one line transfer mechanism 120 may be provided between each of the two corresponding production equipments. The lifting and transferring mechanism 130 is provided correspondingly to the line transfer mechanism 120, and is used to transfer materials on the first conveyor line 111 or the second conveyor line 112 to the line transfer mechanism 120. For details, please refer to Figure 4The lifting and transferring mechanism 130 includes a lifting drive unit 131, a rotating drive unit 132 and a belt conveyor unit 133. When the material needs to be transferred, the material is first moved to the belt conveyor unit 133, and then the lifting drive unit 131 lifts the belt conveyor unit to intercept the material, and then the rotating drive unit 132 drives the belt conveyor unit 133 to rotate. In this embodiment, after the belt conveyor unit 133 rotates 90°, the material is transferred to the transfer mechanism 120 along with the belt conveyor unit 133. The lifting and transferring mechanism 130 can be selected from any model in the prior art that matches the production line, and the utility model does not limit this. Of course, if the lifting and transferring mechanism 130 is not set, a mechanical arm can also be set on the first conveyor line 111 or the second conveyor line 112, and the material on the first conveyor line 111 or the second conveyor line 112 can be moved to the transfer mechanism 120 by the mechanical arm, but this will require more equipment costs.
[0033] Specifically, the line transfer mechanism 120 includes a reversing frame 121 and a rotating motor 122. The extending direction of the reversing frame 121 is arranged to cross the extending direction of the first conveying line 111, and the rotating motor 122 drives the connecting reversing frame 121. In this embodiment, the first conveying line 111 is arranged in parallel with the second conveying line 112, and the extending direction of the reversing frame 121 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the first conveying line 111, so that the stability of material transmission can be ensured. Furthermore, the rotating motor 122 drives the reversing frame 121 to rotate 180° each time to complete the exchange of materials.
[0034] In the technical solution provided by the utility model, the first conveyor line 111 and the second conveyor line 112 both have multiple conveying layers. It should be noted that the reversing frame 121 can be set as an integral unit, and one reversing frame 121 corresponds to multiple conveying layers on the first conveyor line 111 and the second conveyor line 112 at the same time. In other words, the reversing frame 121 has multiple layers, corresponding to each conveying layer, and a rotating motor 122 drives the integrally set reversing frame 121 to rotate. Although the above embodiment is feasible, it is not conducive to control and is easy to disrupt the production rhythm. Therefore, preferably, the reversing frame 121 includes multiple reversing frames 121, and each reversing frame 121 is provided between each adjacent two conveying layers on the first conveyor line 111 and the second conveyor line 112, and each reversing frame 121 is provided with a rotating motor 122. By setting multiple reversing frames 121, each reversing frame 121 corresponds to two adjacent conveying layers, and is independently driven and controlled by a rotating motor 122, it is possible to perform targeted reversing adjustments when a corresponding failure occurs in a certain conveying layer, so as not to affect the overall production rhythm.
[0035] Specifically, the reversing frame 121 includes a frame body 123 and an electric roller 124 disposed on the frame body 123, and the electric roller 124 can rotate in a forward direction or a reverse direction. It should be noted that the electric roller 124 can convey materials. When the materials on the first conveying line 111 are to be conveyed to the second conveying line 112, the electric roller 124 can be set to rotate in a forward direction. When the materials on the second conveying line 112 are to be conveyed to the first conveying line 111, the electric roller 124 can be set to rotate in a reverse direction. Further, each reversing frame 121 is also provided with a sensor, which is electrically connected to the corresponding rotating motor 122 and the electric roller 124, and the sensor is used to sense whether there is material on the reversing frame 121. When the sensor senses that there is material on the reversing frame 121, the sensor controls the electric roller 124 to stop rotating, and then controls the rotating motor 122 to drive the reversing frame 121 to rotate. When the reversing frame 121 has completed rotating, the electric roller 124 continues to rotate to drive the material to transfer.
[0036] See also Figure 3 In an optional embodiment, the first conveyor line 111 and the second conveyor line 112 both include a first conveyor layer 113, a second conveyor layer 114 and a reflow layer 115 arranged in parallel, the conveying directions of the first conveyor layer 113 and the second conveyor layer 114 are the same, the conveying direction of the reflow layer 115 is opposite to that of the first conveyor layer 113, and a reversing frame 121 is provided between the first conveyor layers 113 and between the second conveyor layers 114. Since the reflow layer 115 is mostly used for the reflow of the material tray, there is no need to set the line transfer mechanism 120. Such an arrangement can form a high-efficiency, high-yield, and high-precision production line.
[0037] Furthermore, since the distance between the first conveyor line 111 and the second conveyor line 112 may be relatively long, if only the line transfer mechanism 120 is provided, the length of the bogie is relatively long, which is not conducive to rotation, and the required driving source may be relatively large, which will increase the production cost. In the technical solution provided by the utility model, the line transfer device 100 also includes a transition line body 140, and a transition line body 140 is provided at both ends of the reversing frame 121, and one end of each transition line body 140 is connected to the first conveyor line 111 or the second conveyor line 112, and the other end is connected to the reversing frame 121; the transition line body 140 includes a transition frame 141 and a transmission roller 142 provided on the transition frame 141. By providing the transition line body 140, the material can be transferred in a transitional manner, thereby reducing the production cost.
[0038] On the basis of the above-mentioned line transfer device 100, the utility model further provides a lithium battery production line, including: a plurality of production equipment and a line transfer device 100; a plurality of production equipment are arranged one by one on one side of the first conveyor line 111 or the second conveyor line 112, and the two production equipments arranged opposite to each other on the first conveyor line 111 and the second conveyor line 112 are arranged in a mirror image. In some embodiments, the production equipment shown in this embodiment includes: a flattening mechanism, a rubber coating mechanism, a shell insertion mechanism, a current collecting plate welding mechanism, a pre-spot sealing mechanism and a sealing nail welding mechanism; a flattening mechanism, a rubber coating mechanism, a shell insertion mechanism, and a current collecting plate welding mechanism. Specifically, the flattening mechanism corresponds to the flattening process of the lithium battery, the glue encapsulation mechanism corresponds to the glue encapsulation process of the lithium battery production, the shelling mechanism corresponds to the shelling process of the lithium battery production, the collecting plate welding mechanism corresponds to the collecting plate welding process of the lithium battery production, the pre-spot sealing welding mechanism corresponds to the pre-spot sealing welding process of the lithium battery production, and the sealing nail welding mechanism corresponds to the sealing nail welding process of the lithium battery production. Each process can be set with multiple production equipment of the same type. The more production equipment set for each process, the higher the production efficiency of the process, and the progress of the process will not be affected by the failure of one of the production equipment, that is, the production stability of the process is better.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the utility model.
