Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of solar cell processing and relates to a variable speed transmission device. Background Art

[0002] During the production process, the battery cells need to pass through the drying oven and other curing equipment at a uniform speed to maintain a good curing effect. After being sent out of the drying oven and other curing equipment, they need to be conveyed in the form of steps according to the beat in the subsequent automated operation process so that there is spare time to correct the battery cells. Therefore, after the battery cells are sent out of the curing equipment, the battery cells need to be converted from uniform speed conveyance to step conveyance.

This method has requirements on the spacing between the transmitted battery cells, and sufficient time needs to be left for the belt to switch. When the spacing between battery cells is too small, the belt will arrive before the previous battery cell has been completed, which will cause battery cell blockage. Utility Model Content

[0031] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, but the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] Secondly, the present application is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagram.

[0034] The uniform speed conveyor belt module 1 is a uniform speed conveyor belt, which includes two conveyor belts spaced apart and perpendicular to the conveying direction, and the battery cells are conveyed on the conveyor belts.

[0035] The step conveyor belt module 2 is a step conveyor belt, which includes two conveyor belts spaced apart and perpendicular to the conveying direction, and the battery cells are conveyed on the conveyor belts.

[0036] The transfer adsorption module 3 includes a first adsorption platform 31, whose adsorption surface is arranged upward, and the first adsorption platform 31 is arranged between the two conveyor belts of the uniform speed conveyor belt module 1 and the step conveyor belt module 2, and its lower part is connected to the lifting and translation drive 32. The lifting and translation drive 32 drives the first adsorption platform 31 to rise and fall, so that its adsorption surface is higher or lower than the conveyor belt, and reciprocates between the set position of the uniform speed conveyor belt module 1 and the set position of the step conveyor belt module 2.

[0037] The first adsorption platform 31 is a first adsorption platform on which the battery cell can be adsorbed, which is a prior art.

[0038] In the present application, the uniform speed conveyor belt module 1 is connected to equipment such as a photovoltaic drying furnace, and the battery cells uniformly transmitted therefrom are uniformly received by the uniform speed conveyor belt module 1.

[0039] When the battery cell reaches the set position of the uniform conveyor module 1, the lifting and translation drive 32 of the transfer adsorption module 3 drives the first adsorption platform 31 to rise, pass through the two conveyor belts of the uniform conveyor module 1, lift the battery cell off the conveyor belt, and the lifting and translation drive 32 continues to drive the first adsorption platform 31 to translate to the set position of the step conveyor module 2. At this time, the first adsorption platform 31 is located above its conveyor belt. The lifting and translation drive 32 continues to drive the first adsorption platform 31 to descend and pass through the two conveyor belts of the step conveyor module 2 and reach below it. The battery cell falls on the two conveyor belts of the step conveyor module 2 to perform step transmission. At the same time, the lifting and translation drive 32 continues to drive the first adsorption platform 31 to translate to the set position of the uniform conveyor module 1. At this time, the first adsorption platform 31 is located below the conveyor belt of the uniform conveyor module 1, and the next battery cell can be transferred.

[0040] The setting position of the uniform speed conveyor belt module 1 and the setting position of the step conveyor belt module 2 can be selected as needed. Preferably, the setting position is located in the middle to facilitate the transportation and transfer of the battery cells.

The second connecting rod 3213 is hinged on the slider, and the first adsorption platform 31 is fixedly connected to the slider.

[0042] When the driving motor 3211 rotates, it drives the first connecting rod 3212 to rotate, and drives the slider to move up and down on the slide rail through the second connecting rod 3213, thereby driving the first adsorption platform 31 to move up and down.

[0043] See also Figure 2 The translation drive module 322 includes a belt motor 3221, a horizontally arranged synchronous wheel 3222 respectively arranged under the uniform speed conveyor belt module 1 and the step conveyor belt module 2, and a conveyor belt 3223 sleeved on the synchronous wheel 3222. The belt motor 3221 drives a synchronous wheel 3222 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 3223 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction. The lifting drive module 321 is fixedly set on the conveyor belt 3223.

[0044] See also Figure 2 When the belt motor 3221 drives the active synchronous wheel 3222 to rotate forward, it drives the lifting drive module 321 fixed on the conveyor belt 3223 and the first adsorption platform 31 thereon to move from the set position of the uniform speed conveyor belt module 1 to the set position of the step conveyor belt module 2; when the belt motor 3221 drives the active synchronous wheel 3222 to rotate reversely, it drives the lifting drive module 321 fixed on the conveyor belt 3223 and the first adsorption platform 31 thereon to move from the set position of the step conveyor belt module 2 to the set position of the uniform speed conveyor belt module 1.

[0045] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 ,in, Figure 4This is a main view schematic diagram of the speed change device of the present application. In order to speed up the transfer of the battery cell from the uniform speed conveyor belt module 1 to the step conveyor belt module 2, the transfer adsorption module 3 of the present application may also include a second adsorption platform 33. The second adsorption platform 33 is configured to interact with the first adsorption platform 31. That is, when the first adsorption platform 31 moves from the set position of the uniform speed conveyor belt module 1 to the set position of the step conveyor belt module 2 to transfer the battery cell, the second adsorption platform 33 moves from the set position of the step conveyor belt module 2 to the set position of the uniform speed conveyor belt module 1, preparing to transfer the next battery cell of the uniform speed conveyor belt module 1, thereby increasing the transmission efficiency of the speed change device.

[0046] The second adsorption platform 33 may be provided with an independent translation driving module, or the translation driving module 322 of the first adsorption platform 31 may be used. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The second adsorption platform 33 is connected to the second lifting drive module 331, and the configuration of the second lifting drive module 331 is the same as that of the lifting drive module 321. It is also connected to the conveyor belt 3223 of the translation drive module 322. Specifically, the lifting drive module 321 and the second lifting drive module 331 are respectively connected to the conveyor belt 3223 on both sides of the line connecting the two synchronous wheels 3222.

[0047] For this setting, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 When the belt motor 3221 drives the active synchronous wheel 3222 to rotate forward, it drives the lifting drive module 321 and the first adsorption platform 31 to move from the set position of the uniform conveyor belt module 1 to the set position of the step conveyor belt module 2 to transfer the battery cell, and at the same time drives the second lifting drive module 322 and the second adsorption platform 33 to move from the set position of the step conveyor belt module 2 to the set position of the uniform conveyor belt module 1 to prepare for the transfer of the next battery cell; when the belt motor 3221 drives the active synchronous wheel 3222 to rotate reversely, it drives the second lifting drive module 322 and the second adsorption platform 33 to move from the set position of the uniform conveyor belt module 1 to the set position of the step conveyor belt module 2 to transfer the battery cell, and at the same time drives the lifting drive module 321 and the first adsorption platform 31 to move from the set position of the step conveyor belt module 2 to the set position of the uniform conveyor belt module 1 to prepare for the transfer of the next battery cell. In this way, the first adsorption platform 31 and the second adsorption platform 33 can transfer the battery cells alternately.

[0048] The first adsorption platform 31 and the second adsorption platform 33 are driven by the same belt motor 3221, and the conveyor belt 3223 is used for horizontal power transmission, so that the first adsorption platform 31 and the second adsorption platform 33 keep the same movement and opposite direction. At the same time, the first adsorption platform 31 and the second adsorption platform 33 are driven by the lifting drive module 321 and the second lifting drive module 331 respectively. When the two move in opposite directions in the horizontal direction, when the first adsorption platform 31 is lifted up, the second adsorption platform 33 is lowered, and when the second adsorption platform 33 is lifted up, the first adsorption platform 31 is lowered, and they are staggered in the vertical direction.

[0049] In this way, the battery cell moves at a fixed speed on the uniform speed conveyor module 1, and a battery cell is sucked by the first adsorption platform 31 and transferred to the step conveyor module 2. The second adsorption platform 33 can be in a ready state before another battery cell reaches the set position of the uniform speed conveyor module 1, thereby improving the conveying efficiency of the speed change device.

[0050] As a preferred solution, in order to further improve the transmission efficiency of the speed change device, the first adsorption platform 31 and the second adsorption platform 33 are provided with a plurality of adsorption areas of the same number along the battery transmission direction, see Figure 3 The first adsorption platform 31 is provided with two adsorption areas, marked as the first adsorption area A1 and the second adsorption area A2, each of which adsorbs a battery cell. The second adsorption platform 33 is also provided with two similar adsorption areas, so that two battery cells can be transferred from the uniform speed conveyor belt module 1 to the step conveyor belt module 2 at the same time, further improving the conveying efficiency of the speed change device. And because multiple battery cells are lifted up for adsorption and transfer at the same time, there is no requirement for the distance between the multiple battery cells, which increases the fault tolerance of the device.

[0051] Those skilled in the art can understand that in the above embodiments, the positions of the uniform speed conveyor belt module 1 and the step conveyor belt module 2 can be interchanged. For example, when it is necessary to transfer the battery cells into a sintering furnace, the step conveyor belt module 2 and the uniform speed conveyor belt module 1 are arranged in sequence, and the battery cells of the step conveyor belt module 2 are transferred to the uniform speed conveyor belt module 1 through the transfer adsorption module 3, thereby realizing the speed change of the battery cells from step conveyance to uniform speed conveyance.

[0052] The above is only a preferred implementation of the present application. Although the present application has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present application. Any technician familiar with the art can use the above disclosed methods and technical contents to make many possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the present application without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present application, or modify it into an equivalent embodiment of equivalent changes. Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present application without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present application still falls within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present application.
