[0002] Batteries are an indispensable power source in daily life and industrial production, and the demand is very large. Usually, during the battery processing, liquid electrolyte needs to be added to the battery, that is, the battery needs to be injected. After the injection treatment is completed, the battery needs to be turned over so that the liquid electrolyte can more evenly infiltrate the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, promote the reaction inside the battery, and improve the performance of the battery.

[0003] Generally, common battery types that need to be filled include lead-acid batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, and lithium batteries. These batteries usually have removable battery plugs. If the batteries are turned over manually, the number of operations is huge, the efficiency is low, and the battery plugs are easily touched by humans, causing them to fall off, thus causing battery leakage. However, most of the fully automatic turning devices in the related art are composed of complex mechanized structures, which require a large site space and are costly. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0037] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0038] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or mutual communication; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a battery flipping device comprises:

[0040] The support column 1 is arranged vertically;

[0041] A battery tray 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the support column 1, and the battery tray 2 is used to carry batteries;

[0042] A limiting component 3 connected to the battery tray 2, the limiting component 3 is used to fix the battery; and

[0043] There are two groups of lifting components 4 arranged relatively to each other, and the support column 1 is located between the two groups of lifting components 4. The lifting components 4 are supported on the bottom of the battery tray 2. The battery tray 2 is placed in a horizontal state or rotated to a vertical state through the lifting of the two groups of lifting components 4.

[0044] The embodiment of the present application adopts a relatively simple mechanized structure to realize three switching of battery states.

[0045] The first state: first, simultaneously raise the first group of lifting components 41 and the second group of lifting components 42, so that both the first group of lifting components 41 and the second group of lifting components 42 can support the bottom of the battery tray 2, and realize the flat state of the battery tray 2; then place the battery vertically on the battery tray 2, and then use the limit component 3 to fix the position of the battery on the battery tray 2. In this state, the battery can be stationary in the vertical placement direction.

[0046] The second state: Based on the first state, the first group of lifting components 41 is raised and the second group of lifting components 42 is lowered simultaneously. The first group of lifting components 41 can generate a vertical upward thrust on one end of the battery tray 2, while the other end of the battery tray 2 will drop due to gravity, thereby realizing the rotation of the battery tray 2. In this state, the battery can be flipped toward the direction of the second group of lifting components 42 and then left stationary.

[0047] The third state: Based on the first state, the first group of lifting components 41 is lowered and the second group of lifting components 42 is raised synchronously. The second group of lifting components 42 can generate a vertical upward thrust on one end of the battery tray 2, and the other end of the battery tray 2 will drop due to gravity, thereby realizing the rotation of the battery tray 2. In this state, the battery can be flipped toward the direction of the first group of lifting components 41 and then left stationary.

[0048] When the battery is turned over, it is usually necessary to place the battery in a flat state and let it stand for 1 to 2 days, then turn the battery to one side and let it stand for 1 to 2 days, then continue to place the battery in a flat state for 1 to 2 days, and then turn the battery to the other side and let it stand for 1 to 2 days. That is, the embodiment of the present application needs to realize any switching between the first state, the second state and the third state for the battery.

[0049] When the battery needs to be switched from the second state or the third state to the first state, it is only necessary to manually assist the battery tray 2 to return to the flat state, and at the same time raise the first group of lifting components 41 and the second group of lifting components 42, so that the first group of lifting components 41 and the second group of lifting components 42 can both support the bottom of the battery tray 2, and then adjust the lifting of the first group of lifting components 41 and the second group of lifting components 42 to achieve the switching from the first state to the second state or the third state, avoiding the operation of taking the battery out of the limit component 3 and changing the direction and then placing it again, which can prevent the battery plug from falling off and reduce the workload of manual work.

[0050] In combination with the accompanying drawings, it can be understood that in order to make the embodiment of the present application more stable during use, a base 5 can also be provided to fix the base 5 to the bottom of the support column 1 and the bottom of the lifting assembly 4, thereby further improving the stability of the overall device.

[0051] Furthermore, fixing holes may be provided on the base 5, so that the embodiment of the present application can be used in conjunction with a fixed operating table, which can further improve the overall stability of the embodiment of the present application. For example, the operating table is provided with mounting bolts, the mounting bolts are passed through the fixing holes on the base 5, and nuts are used to fix the mounting bolts to the base 5, thereby achieving the fixation between the embodiment of the present application and the operating table.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application is provided with three groups of limit assemblies 3. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not uniquely limit the number of limit assemblies 3. Among them, the limit assembly 3 includes: a fixed plate 31, a movable plate 32, a limit plate 33 and a fastener 34. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the fixed plate 31 is fixedly connected to the battery tray 2, and the fixed plate 31 is perpendicular to the surface of the battery tray 2; the movable plate 32 is slidably arranged on the fixed plate 31, and an opening is arranged at one end of the fixed plate 31 away from the battery tray 2, and the movable plate 32 is slidably inserted into the opening of the fixed plate 31 toward one end of the battery tray 2; the limit plate 33 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 32, and the limit plate 33 is an L-shaped plate, so that a storage space can be formed between the limit plate 33 and the battery tray 2, and the storage space is used to store batteries; the fastener 34 is used to fix the fixed plate 31 and the movable plate 32.

[0053] When the battery is turned over by using the embodiment of the present application, the battery is placed in the accommodation space, the sliding plate 32 is slid, so that the limiting plate 33 fixes the top of the battery, and then the fixed plate 31 and the movable plate 32 are fixed by the fastener 34, thereby fixing the position of the battery on the battery tray 2. In conjunction with the drawings, it can be understood that the fastener 34 is set as a fastening bolt, and the fastening bolt is tightened to achieve the position fixation between the fixed plate 31 and the movable plate 32.

[0054] Reference Figure 3 It is understandable that in order to further prevent the battery from being displaced on the battery tray 2, the limiting components 3 in the embodiment of the present application are arranged into six groups, and each two groups of limiting components 3 are arranged relatively to form a limiting mechanism. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of limiting mechanisms. At this time, placing the battery between the two groups of limiting components 3 in each limiting mechanism can achieve position fixation of both sides of the battery, further avoiding the risk of displacement of the battery.

[0055] Further, see Figure 4 At least one receiving slot 21 is provided on the side of the battery tray 2 facing the receiving space, and the receiving slot 21 is used to place the battery. At this time, the position between the battery and the battery tray 2 can be further limited. Referring to the accompanying drawings, it can be understood that the number of receiving slots 21 corresponding to a single limiting plate 33 is not limited. A single limiting plate 33 can correspond to one receiving slot 21, and a single limiting plate 33 can also correspond to multiple receiving slots 21, so that a single limiting plate 33 can limit multiple batteries placed in the receiving slots 21. To achieve the above function, the receiving slot 21 on the battery tray 2 can be set to be concave downward, or it can be set to be convex upward. In the embodiment of the present application, it is set in a concave manner.

[0056] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 A rotating assembly 6 is connected between the battery tray 2 and the support column 1, and the rotating assembly 6 can realize the rotational connection between the support column 1 and the battery tray 2. Among them, the rotating assembly 6 includes: a rotating shaft 61 and a connecting seat 62. Specifically, the two ends of the rotating shaft 61 are respectively fixedly connected with connecting plates 63, and the connecting plate 63 is fixedly connected to the battery tray 2, so that there is a distance between the rotating shaft 61 and the battery tray 2; the connecting seat 62 is fixedly connected to the support column 1, and the rotating shaft 61 is penetrated by the connecting seat 62, so that the rotating shaft 61 is rotationally connected with the connecting seat 62. When the rotating shaft 61 rotates inside the connecting seat 62, the rotating shaft 61 can drive the connecting plate 63 to rotate, so that the connecting plate 63 drives the battery tray 2 to rotate.

[0057] Further, see Figure 5 In order to prevent the connecting seat 62 from interfering with the rotation of the battery tray 2 during the rotation of the battery tray 2, a clearance groove 22 is opened on the surface of the battery tray 2 facing the support column 1, and the position of the clearance groove 22 corresponds to the connecting seat 62, so that the clearance groove 22 can avoid the connecting seat 62 during the rotation of the battery tray 2. At the same time, it can also make the overall structure of the battery flipping device more compact.

[0058] Reference Figure 6, the lifting component 4 is configured as a telescopic cylinder, and the piston rods of the two relatively arranged groups of telescopic cylinders are configured upward, so that the top of the telescopic cylinder can be used to support the battery tray 2. When the battery is flipped using the embodiment of the present application, when the piston rods of the two groups of telescopic cylinders are both extended upward and fit tightly against the bottom of the battery tray 2, the battery tray 2 can be stably placed flat, thereby allowing the battery to remain stationary in a flat state. When the piston rods of one of the two groups of telescopic cylinders continue to extend upward, the piston rods of the other group of telescopic cylinders cooperate to be retracted downward, thereby allowing the upwardly extended piston rods to generate a vertical upward thrust on one end of the battery tray 2, while the other end of the battery tray 2 will drop due to gravity, thereby enabling the battery tray 2 to rotate, so that the battery tray 2 drives the battery to flip and remain stationary, refer to the state diagram. Figure 7 It can be understood that the connecting seat 62 in the rotating assembly 6 can also limit the position of the battery tray 2 after rotation. At this time, the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder can be retracted downward.

[0059] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 It can be understood that the top of the piston rod of the two sets of telescopic cylinders in the above embodiment can also be hinged to the support plate 7, and the battery tray 2 can be attached to or separated from the support plate 7. When using the embodiment of the present application to flip the battery, when the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder needs to support the battery tray 2, the support plate 7 can provide the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder with a larger contact area with the bottom of the battery tray 2, thereby further improving the stability of the piston rod supporting the battery tray 2 when it is placed flat; when the battery tray 2 is rotated, the support plate 7 can be separated from the battery tray 2, so that the flipping angle of the battery tray 2 will not be limited by the length of the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder.

[0060] Furthermore, in order to further ensure that the battery tray 2 can achieve a flipping state at any angle within a range of 0 to 90° when carrying batteries, the distance between the two ends of the battery tray 2 for lifting and lowering is defined as a first length; the axis around which the battery tray 2 rotates is defined as a first axis, the first axis is located in the middle of the battery tray 2, and the length of the first axis from the bottom end of the support column 1 is a second length, and the relationship between the first length and the second length is controlled to satisfy the first length being less than twice the second length, thereby avoiding the height of the support column 1 from affecting the flipping angle of the battery tray 2.

[0061] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
