[0037] The lifting system provided in the embodiment of the present application can be used to transport battery cells during the production and manufacturing process of batteries. The battery cells are placed on a carrier, and the battery cells and the carrier circulate in the lifting system.
[0038] Specifically, the carrier can flow along the first direction on the first conveying layer 11, and the carrier can also flow along the first direction on the second conveying layer 12; that is, the first conveying layer 11 and the second conveying layer 12 convey the carrier along the same horizontal direction (defined as the first direction). In addition, the carrier can be transferred between the first conveying layer 11 and the second conveying layer 12 by the elevator 13; for example, by the descending action of the elevator 13, the carrier can be transferred from the first conveying layer 11 to the second conveying layer 12; by the lifting action of the elevator 13, the carrier can be transferred from the second conveying layer 12 to the first conveying layer 11.
[0039] In the lifting system provided in the embodiment of the present application, since the first conveying layer 11 and the second conveying layer 12 are arranged on the same side of the lift 13 along the first direction; therefore, at least in the first direction, the arrangement of the first conveying layer 11 and the second conveying layer 12 can save space. The first conveying layer 11 and the second conveying layer 12 are centrally arranged on the same side of the lift 13 along the first direction, and on the other side of the lift 13 along the first direction, the first conveying layer 11 and the second conveying layer 12 do not need to occupy position space; this can save the floor space of the lifting system, reduce the requirements for the overall production system, and save production costs.

[0041] The lifting system includes a first layer changing machine 14, which is connected to the first conveying layer 11 and is arranged at an end of the first conveying layer 11 away from the elevator 13; the first layer changing machine 14 is used to lift and lower the carrier along the second direction so that the carrier is transferred between the first sub-layer 111 and the second sub-layer 112.
[0042] In this specific example, in order to further improve the efficiency of the lifting system in transporting the carrier, the first conveying layer 11 is configured to include two sub-layers, namely the first sub-layer 111 and the second sub-layer 112, wherein the first sub-layer 111 is located above the second sub-layer 112. In order to transfer the carrier between the first sub-layer 111 and the second sub-layer 112, the lifting system is provided with a first layer changer 14, which is installed at one end of the first conveying layer 11 away from the elevator 13, and the first layer changer 14 can lift the carrier in a vertical direction (defined as a second direction).
[0043] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the first direction is Figure 1 The a direction in the second direction is Figure 1 The b direction in .
[0044] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the lifting system includes a support platform 16 , the support platform 16 is disposed between the first conveying layer 11 and the second conveying layer 12 , and the first layer changing machine 14 is installed on the support platform 16 .
[0045] In this specific example, in order to enhance the stability of the lifting system, the system is further provided with a support platform 16, which is located between the first conveying layer 11 and the second conveying layer 12, and the first layer changing machine 14 is installed on the support platform 16. Optionally, the support platform 16 is a steel platform.
[0046] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the second transport layer 12 includes a third sublayer 121 and a fourth sublayer 122, and the third sublayer 121 is located above the fourth sublayer 122;
[0047] The lifting system includes a second layer changing machine 15, which is connected to the second conveying layer 12 and is arranged at an end of the second conveying layer 12 away from the elevator 13; the second layer changing machine 15 is used to lift and lower the carrier along the second direction so that the carrier is transferred between the third sub-layer 121 and the fourth sub-layer 122.
[0048] In this specific example, in order to further improve the efficiency of the lifting system in transporting the carrier, the second conveying layer 12 is configured to include two sublayers, namely, a third sublayer 121 and a fourth sublayer 122, wherein the third sublayer 121 is located above the fourth sublayer 122. In order to transfer the carrier between the third sublayer 121 and the fourth sublayer 122, the lifting system is provided with a second layer changer 15, which is installed at one end of the second conveying layer 12 away from the elevator 13, and the second layer changer 15 can lift the carrier in a vertical direction (defined as a second direction).
[0049] The lift 13 and the second layer-changing machine 15 can be directly installed and fixed on the bottom surface G, and there is no need to separately set up a supporting platform for installing and fixing the lift 13 and the second layer-changing machine 15 .
[0050] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the carrier has a first state and a second state, and the carrier in the first state flows in the first sub-layer 111 and is converted into a carrier in the second state; the second sub-layer 112 is configured to transport the carrier in the second state.
[0051] In this specific example, since the first sublayer 111 is located above the second sublayer 112, it is convenient to operate the carrier at the position of the first sublayer 111. For example, the carrier in the first state is converted into the carrier in the second state through corresponding operations during the flow in the first sublayer 111; the carrier in the second state is transferred to the second sublayer 112 through the descending action of the first layer changing machine 14, and then the carrier in the second state flows in the second sublayer 112.

[0053] In this specific example, since the third sublayer 121 is located above the fourth sublayer 122, it is convenient to operate the carrier at the position of the third sublayer 121. For example, the carrier in the second state is converted into a carrier in the first state through corresponding operations during the flow of the third sublayer 121; the carrier in the first state is transferred to the fourth sublayer 122 through the descending action of the second layer changing machine 15, and then the carrier in the first state flows in the fourth sublayer 122.
[0054] Reference Figure 2 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present application, a production line is provided, which includes the lifting system as described above.
[0055] The production line provided in the embodiment of the present application occupies a small area, has a relatively simple layout, and has a low production cost because it includes the above-mentioned lifting system.
[0056] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the production line further includes a carrier and a first robot 31, the carrier having a first state and a second state (for convenience in Figure 2 The two states of carriers are distinguished in the figure, and the carriers in the first state and the carriers in the second state are respectively assigned different figure marks); the first manipulator 31 is arranged corresponding to the first sub-layer 111, and the carrier 21 in the first state flows in the first sub-layer 111 and is converted into the carrier 22 in the second state through the operation of the first manipulator 31.
[0057] In this specific example, since the first sub-layer 111 is located above the second sub-layer 112, it is convenient to operate the carrier at the position of the first sub-layer 111; specifically, a first manipulator 31 is provided at the position of the first sub-layer 111, and the carrier 21 in the first state is converted into the carrier 22 in the second state through the operation of the first manipulator 31 during the flow of the first sub-layer 111.
[0058] The first manipulator 31 is disposed at the first sub-layer 111 located above. Not only is the arrangement of the first manipulator 31 easier, but the operation of the first manipulator 31 will not be restricted by the space between the first sub-layer 111 and the second sub-layer 112, thereby avoiding the operation of the first manipulator 31 being affected by the limited space between the first sub-layer 111 and the second sub-layer 112.
[0059] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the production line also includes a second robot 32, which is arranged corresponding to the third sub-layer 121, and the carrier 22 in the second state flows in the third sub-layer 121 and is converted into the carrier 21 in the first state through the operation of the second robot 32.
[0060] In this specific example, since the third sublayer 121 is located above the fourth sublayer 122, it is convenient to operate the carrier at the position of the third sublayer 121; specifically, a second manipulator 32 is provided at the position of the third sublayer 121, and the carrier 22 in the second state is converted into the carrier 21 in the first state through the operation of the second manipulator 32 during the flow of the third sublayer 121.
[0061] The second manipulator 32 is disposed at the third sub-layer 121 located above. Not only is the arrangement of the second manipulator 32 easier, but the operation of the second manipulator 32 will not be restricted by the space between the third sub-layer 121 and the fourth sub-layer 122, thereby avoiding the operation of the second manipulator 32 being affected by the limited space between the third sub-layer 121 and the fourth sub-layer 122.
[0062] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the second sub-layer 112 is configured to only transport the carrier 22 in the second state; and the fourth sub-layer 122 is configured to only transport the carrier 21 in the first state.
[0063] In this specific example, the second sublayer 112 located below the first sublayer 111 is configured to only transport the carrier 22 in the second state, without the need to set a robot at the position of the second sublayer 112 to operate the carrier 22 in the second state; similarly, the fourth sublayer 122 located below the third sublayer 121 is configured to only transport the carrier 21 in the first state, without the need to set a robot at the position of the fourth sublayer 122 to operate the carrier 21 in the first state.
[0064] A complete cycle of the carrier 21 in the first state and the carrier 22 in the second state in the production line is:
[0065] The carrier 21 in the first state flows on the first sub-layer 111 and is converted into the carrier 22 in the second state through the operation of the first manipulator 31. The carrier 22 in the second state is transferred to the second sub-layer 112 through the descending action of the first layer-changing machine 14, and then the carrier 22 in the second state flows to the elevator 13 in the second sub-layer 112; under the descending action of the elevator 13, the carrier 22 in the second state is transferred to the third sub-layer 121, and then the carrier 22 in the second state flows in the third sub-layer 121 and is converted into the carrier 21 in the first state through the operation of the second manipulator 32, the carrier 21 in the first state is transferred to the fourth sub-layer 122 under the descending action of the second layer-changing machine 15, and then the carrier 21 in the first state flows to the elevator 13 in the fourth sub-layer 122; under the lifting action of the elevator 13, the carrier 21 in the first state enters the first sub-layer 111 again to participate in the next production cycle.
[0066] In a specific example, the carrier 21 in the first state is an empty tray without battery cells, and the carrier 22 in the second state is a loading tray with battery cells; Figure 1 and Figure 2 The hollow arrow A1 in the figure represents the flow direction of the empty pallet, and the solid arrow A2 represents the flow direction of the loaded pallet; the first manipulator 31 is a material unloading manipulator, and the second manipulator 32 is a material taking manipulator.
