Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery cell production, in particular to a boat clamping device, battery cell transport and loading equipment and a battery cell transport and loading system. Background Art

[0002] In the process of producing solar cells, the cells are placed in boats for circulation and processing. The production process of solar cells involves multiple processes. When processing cells with specific processes, the cells need to be placed in specific boats. For example, when laser etching is performed, the cells are placed in a special boat; when boron diffusion is performed, the cells are placed in another special boat. Therefore, in the process of producing solar cells, it is necessary to transfer cells in one boat to another boat.

[0003] At present, there are battery transfer and loading devices that transfer battery cells from one container to another container. The process of transferring battery cells from one container (one of the boat and the flower basket) to another container (the other of the boat and the flower basket) by these battery transfer and loading devices is usually as follows: first, the first container is flipped from a vertical state to a horizontal state, and then the first top sheet is raised and passed through the first container to lift up the battery cells in the first container, and then the lifted battery cells are grabbed with a suction cup, and then the suction cup is moved horizontally to the top of the second container, and then the second top sheet is raised and passed through the second container in a horizontal state, and the suction cup releases the battery cells to place the battery cells in the second top sheet, and then the second top sheet is lowered to place the battery cells in the second container. In order to ensure that the battery cells are smoothly ejected from the boat, it is necessary to design a boat clamping device to clamp and fix the boat, and it is necessary to ensure that the battery cells in the boat will not fall off during the process of the boat flipping with the boat clamping device.

The boat clamping device can clamp and fix the boat, and support the battery cells in the boat when the boat is turned over.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

The boat clamping structure 312 includes two boat clamping members 3121 arranged opposite to each other, and the two boat clamping members 3121 can move toward each other in the horizontal direction and can move away from each other in the horizontal direction. The top side of the boat supporting platform 311 is used to place the boat, and the two boat clamping members 3121 are located above the boat supporting platform 311. After the boat is placed on the boat supporting platform 311, the two boat clamping members 3121 can move toward each other to clamp and fix the boat.

[0062] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11 The boat clamping structure 312 further includes a first driving assembly 313, which includes a first power output member 3132.

Each boat clamping member 3121 is connected to the first power output member 3132 of the corresponding first driving assembly 313 in a lifting manner. In this way, the positions of the two boat clamping members 3121 can be changed by synchronously lifting and lowering the two boat clamping members 3121, thereby adjusting the clamping position. According to the thickness of the base of the clamped boat, the two boat clamping members 3121 are synchronously lifted and lowered to the optimal clamping position or near the optimal clamping position, and then the two first driving assemblies 313 drive the two boat clamping members 3121 to move toward each other until the two boat clamping members 3121 abut against the two sides of the boat base, so that the boat can be stably clamped.

[0063] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11 The first driving assembly 313 also includes a first seat body 3131, the first seat body 3131 is fixed to the bottom side of the boat support platform 311, and the first power output member 3132 is slidably connected to the first seat body 3131, and the first power output member 3132 slides relative to the first seat body 3131 along the horizontal direction. In this way, the first power output member 3132 slides relative to the first seat body 3131, which can drive the boat clamping member 3121 to move horizontally. In other embodiments, the first power output member 3132 can also directly form a sliding pair with the boat support platform 311, and the sliding direction of the sliding pair is along the horizontal direction. In these embodiments, the boat support platform 311 plays the role of both carrying the boat and the role of the first seat body 3131.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first drive assembly 313 is a cylinder, the first seat body 3131 is a cylinder body of the cylinder, and the first power output member 3132 is a piston rod of the cylinder. In other embodiments, the first drive assembly 313 is a linear module, the first seat body 3131 is a slide rail of the linear module, and the first power output member 3132 is a slide table of the linear module.

[0065] See also Figures 9 to 11 The boat clamping mechanism 31 further includes a second driving assembly 314, which includes a second power output member, which is connected to the first power output member 3132 in a liftable manner. The second driving assembly 314 is provided with two boat clamping members 3121, which are arranged one by one corresponding to each other. Each boat clamping member 3121 is fixed to the second power output member corresponding to the second driving assembly 314.

[0067] The second driving assembly 314 may have a structure that is the same as or similar to that of the first driving assembly 313 .

[0068] In other embodiments, the boat clamp 3121 may also directly form a sliding pair with the first power output member 3132 , and the sliding direction of the sliding pair is along the vertical direction, which can also enable the boat clamp 3121 to be connected to the first power output member 3132 in a liftable manner.

Because the boat clamping device 3 includes the above-mentioned boat clamping mechanism 31, the boat clamping device 3 has the technical effect of the above-mentioned boat clamping mechanism 31. Since the relevant technical effects have been fully described in the foregoing text, they will not be repeated here.

[0075] See also Figures 7 to 10, the support structure 32 is arranged on the same side of the two boat clamping members 3121. In this way, when moving in a specific direction (such as Figure 7 When the boat clamping device 3 is turned over (in the clockwise direction in FIG), the supporting sheet structure 32 is located below the boat clamped by the boat clamping mechanism 31, thereby supporting the battery cells in the boat and preventing the battery cells from falling out of the boat.

[0076] See also Figures 7 to 10 The support structure 32 includes two support pieces 321, which are arranged opposite to each other and are rotatably connected to the two boat clamping pieces 3121.

The two support pieces 321 are rotated to contact the battery cells in the boat clamped by the two boat clamping pieces 3121, so as to support the battery cells in the boat. Before the boat is clamped in the boat clamping device 3, or before the boat is taken out of the boat clamping device 3, the two support pieces 321 can be rotated away from each other to a position where they will not contact the battery cells, so as to prevent the friction between the support pieces 321 and the battery cells from damaging the battery cells.

The first transmission member 3223 is rotatably connected to the third power output member 3222 and fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 3212. In this way, when the third power output member 3222 slides, the third seat body 3221 rotates relative to the boat clamping piece 3121, and the first transmission member 3223 rotates relative to the third power output member 3222 and drives the first rotating shaft 3212 to rotate, so that the support piece 321 can rotate.

In this way, after placing the boat on the boat support platform 311, one side of the boat base is close to the positioning side 31111, so that the boat can be positioned. After the boat is positioned, the other two sides of the boat are parallel to the boat clamping side 31211, so that the two boat clamping members 3121 move toward each other to clamp and fix the boat. Preferably, two positioning members 3111 are provided, and the positioning sides 31111 of the two positioning members 3111 are opposite to each other, so that the two sides of the base of the boat can be respectively close to the positioning sides 31111 of the two positioning members 3111, and the two positioning members 3111 play a limiting role on the boat, which is conducive to the boat clamping mechanism 31 to stably clamp the boat.

Then, the top sheet 5 originally located directly below the loading and unloading position is raised to push the cells in the first boat 400 into the suction cup unit 2, and at the same time, the empty second boat 500 is clamped in another boat clamping device 3, and the boat clamping device 3 holding the second boat 500 is turned over to make the second boat 500 in a horizontal state. After that, the suction cup unit 2 sucks the cells lifted by the top sheet 5. Then, the top sheet 5 is lowered to directly below the loading and unloading position; the switching table 4 is moved to make the first boat 400 leave the loading and unloading position and move the second boat 500 into the loading and unloading position. Then, the top sheet 5 is raised to hold the battery cell, and the suction cup unit 2 releases the battery cell to place the battery cell into the top sheet 5. Then, the top sheet 5 is lowered to place the battery cell into the second boat 500. Figure 1 The process of transferring the battery cells in the first boat 400 to the second boat 500 by the battery cell transfer loading equipment 100 in the illustrated embodiment avoids the battery cells from moving horizontally following the suction cup 21, which is beneficial to prevent the battery cells from having a large positional offset and can improve the positioning accuracy of the battery cells, thereby facilitating the transfer of the battery cells to the second boat 500.

[0087] Moreover, in the conventional battery cell transport loading device 100 , in order to ensure that the battery cell can move horizontally following the suction cup 21 , the suction cup 21 needs to exert a relatively large suction force on the battery cell. Figure 1 The battery cell transfer and loading device 100 provided in the illustrated embodiment prevents the battery cells from moving horizontally following the suction cup 21 , so the suction cup unit 2 does not need to exert a large force on the battery cells, which helps to reduce the use cost.

[0088] In addition, compared with the conventional battery cell transfer loading device 100, two top sheets 5 are required. Figure 1 The battery cell transport and loading device 100 provided in the illustrated embodiment only needs to be provided with one top sheet member 5, which can not only simplify the structure of the battery cell transport and loading device 100, but also reduce the use cost.

[0089] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The top sheet 5 includes a top sheet portion 51 and multiple rows of second separators 52 fixed on the top side of the top sheet portion 51, and the multiple rows of separators are parallel to each other. The multiple second separators 52 in each row of second separators 52 are evenly spaced along the horizontal direction, and a third gap 521 is formed between two adjacent second separators 52 in each row of second separators 52, wherein the third gap 521 in one row of second separators 52 is arranged one-to-one with the third gap 521 in another row of second separators 52 to form a space for accommodating a battery cell. When the top sheet 5 rises, the second separator 52 is misaligned with the battery cell. As the top sheet 5 rises, each battery cell first enters the corresponding third gap 521, and then contacts the top sheet portion 51 and is gradually lifted up by the top sheet portion 51.

[0090] Exemplarily, the frame 1 includes a vertically arranged first slide rail, the top piece 5 includes a first slide table adapted to the first slide rail, and the first slide rail and the first slide table are slidably matched so that the top piece 5 can be raised and lowered on the frame 1. Preferably, the first slide rail and the first slide table participate in forming a linear module.

[0091] See also Figure 1 , the suction cup unit 2 is spaced apart from the rack 1. For example, the suction cup unit 2 and the rack 1 are fixed to the ground at intervals. In other embodiments, the suction cup unit 2 can also be directly mounted on the rack 1.

[0092] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 The suction cup unit 2 includes a plurality of suction cups 21 equally spaced in the horizontal direction, and a fourth gap 211 for accommodating a battery cell is formed between two adjacent suction cups 21. When the top sheet 5 pushes the battery cell into the suction cup unit 2, the battery cell is misaligned with the suction cup 21, and each battery cell can enter the corresponding fourth gap 211.

[0093] See also Figure 1 The switch table 4 is slidably connected to the frame 1, and the two boat clamping devices 3 are arranged in sequence along the sliding direction of the switch table 4. In this way, by sliding the switch table 4, the boat clamping devices 3 can be moved in and out of the loading and unloading positions.

[0094] For example, see Figure 1 , the rack 1 includes a second slide rail 11, the switch table 4 includes a second slide table 41 adapted to the second slide rail 11, and the second slide rail 11 and the second slide table 41 form a sliding fit so that the switch table 4 is slidably connected to the rack 1. Preferably, the second slide rail 11 and the second slide table 41 participate in forming a linear module. Further, the rack 1 also includes a secondary slide rail 12 parallel to the second slide rail 11, the switch table 4 also includes a secondary slide table adapted to the secondary slide rail 12, and the switch table 4 is mounted on the second slide rail 11 and the secondary slide rail 12, which is conducive to the smooth sliding of the switch table 4.

[0095] In other embodiments, the switch table 4 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, and the two boat clamping devices 3 are arranged in sequence along the first circumference, and the center of the first circumference is located at the rotation axis of the switch table 4. In this way, by rotating the switch table 4, the boat clamping devices 3 can be moved in and out of the loading and unloading positions.

[0096] The portion of the switching table 4 located directly below the suction cup unit 2 is provided with an escape hole for the top sheet 5 to pass through.

[0097] During the process of lifting the battery cell by the lifting member 5, the battery cell will have a small positional deviation, which usually will not cause the battery cell to be unable to be moved into the second boat 500. However, in order to conveniently place the battery cell into the second boat 500 and prevent the battery cell from being damaged during the process of placing the battery cell into the second boat 500, it is possible to consider providing a correction mechanism 6 to correct the position of the battery cell so that the same side of all the battery cells are aligned. Figure 2 The battery cell transport loading device 100 also includes a correction mechanism 6, which is located between the suction cup unit 2 and the loading and unloading position. The correction mechanism 6 includes two correction members 61 arranged in parallel, and the two correction members 61 are arranged on the frame 1 so as to be able to move toward each other in the horizontal direction and to move back to back. In this way, the two correction members 61 can be moved toward each other so that the two correction members 61 respectively abut against the two sides of all the battery cells, so that the same side of all the battery cells are aligned, and the position of the battery cells is corrected, so that the battery cells can be conveniently placed in the second boat 500, and the battery cells can be prevented from being damaged during the process of being placed in the second boat 500.

[0098] It can be understood that a plurality of gaps are evenly spaced in the first boat 400 and the second boat 500 , and each gap accommodates a battery cell, so the battery cells are evenly spaced.

[0099] See also Figure 5, the side of each correcting member 61 facing the other correcting member 61 is a clamping side 611, and the clamping side 611 is in a plane shape, and the clamping sides 611 of the two correcting members 61 are parallel. A plurality of first partitions 62 are fixedly provided on each clamping side 611 at equal intervals along the horizontal direction, and a first gap 621 is formed between adjacent first partitions 62 on each correcting member 61, and the first gap 621 on one correcting member 61 is arranged one-to-one with the first gap 621 on the other correcting member 61 to form a space for accommodating a battery cell. In this way, in the process of correcting the battery cell by the correcting mechanism 6, each battery cell enters the corresponding first gap 621 respectively, and the wall of the first gap 621 can play a role in limiting the position of the battery cell, which is conducive to the correcting mechanism 6 to correct the position of the battery cell.

[0100] See also Figure 5 The sidewalls of the first separator 62 are curved, and the distance between the sidewalls of two adjacent first separators 62 decreases first and then increases along the direction perpendicular to the clamping side 611. In this way, the battery cell and the wall of the first gap 621 are in point contact, which is conducive to preventing the battery cell from being damaged by large friction with the wall of the first gap 621.

[0101] See also Figure 5 A guide tooth 63 is fixedly disposed on one side of each first partition 62 away from the clamping side 611, and a second gap 631 exists between two adjacent guide teeth 63 on the same correcting member 61, and the second gap 631 gradually widens in a direction gradually approaching another correcting member 61. In this way, even if the battery cell has a certain positional displacement, it can smoothly enter the first gap 621 under the guidance of the wall of the second gap 631, which is conducive to the correcting mechanism 6 to smoothly correct the position of the battery cell.

[0102] Preferably, the gap between two adjacent guide teeth 63 on the same correcting member 61 is in an eight-shaped shape.

[0103] See also Figure 5 The side wall of the guide tooth 63 is truncated cone or conical. In this way, even if the battery cell is displaced to a certain extent and contacts the wall of the second gap 631, the battery cell and the wall of the second gap 631 are only in point contact, which is conducive to preventing the battery cell from being damaged by large friction with the wall of the second gap 631.

[0104] See also Figure 6The correction mechanism 6 also includes a plurality of sixth drive components 64, the sixth drive component 64 includes a sixth seat body 641 and a sixth power output member 642, the sixth seat body 641 is fixed to the frame 1, and the sixth power output member 642 can be slidably connected to the sixth seat body 641 in the horizontal direction. The sixth drive components 64 are arranged one by one with the correction members 61, and each correction member 61 is fixed to the sixth power output member 642 corresponding to the sixth drive component 64. In this way, the correction member 61 can be driven to move horizontally by the sliding of the sixth power output member 642 to achieve correction. Moreover, by changing the preset position of the sixth power output member 642, the correction mechanism 6 can be applied to the correction of battery cells of different specifications.

[0105] See also Figure 6 , the correction mechanism 6 also includes a plurality of mounting components 65, each mounting component 65 includes a first mounting seat 651 and a first threaded connector 652, and a plurality of mounting positions are arranged on the first mounting seat 651, and the plurality of mounting positions are sequentially distributed along the horizontal direction. The mounting components 65, the sixth drive component 64 and the correction member 61 are arranged one by one, and each mounting component 65 is fixedly arranged on the sixth power output member 642 corresponding to the sixth drive component 64, and each correction member 61 is locked on a mounting position on the first mounting seat 651 of the corresponding mounting component 65 through the first threaded connector 652. In this way, the correction member 61 can be installed in different mounting positions, so as to adjust the initial position of the correction member 61 and the initial spacing between the two correction members 61, so that the correction mechanism 6 is suitable for the correction of battery cells of different specifications. The initial position refers to the position of the correction member 61 when the sixth power output member 642 corresponding to the sixth drive component 64 is reset, and the initial spacing refers to the spacing between the two correction members 61 when both sixth power output members 642 are reset.

[0106] It is worth mentioning that installing the correcting member 61 at different installation positions and changing the preset displacement of the sixth power output member 642 can both make the correcting mechanism 6 suitable for the correction of battery cells of different specifications. Combining these two methods can make the correcting mechanism 6 suitable for the correction of battery cells of more specifications.

[0107] See also Figure 6 Each installation position is provided with a first installation hole 65111, and a first threaded connector 652 is inserted into the first installation hole 65111 to lock the return member 61 at the installation position; in the vertical direction, the first threaded connector 652 can slide along the first installation hole 65111. In this way, the return member 61 can be moved in the vertical direction when the first threaded connector 652 is not locked, and then the return member 61 is locked at the installation position by the first threaded connector 652, so that the height position of the return member 61 can be adjusted to adapt to the return of battery cells of different specifications.

[0108] Preferably, in the horizontal direction, the first threaded connector 652 abuts against the hole wall of the first mounting hole 65111. This can prevent the return member 61 from being displaced in the horizontal direction, thereby ensuring that the contact side of the return member 61 can abut against the battery cell without causing excessive pressure on the battery cell and causing damage to the battery cell when the preset displacement of the sixth power output member 642 remains unchanged.

[0109] Preferably, see Figure 6 , each mounting position is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 65111, each mounting assembly 65 includes a plurality of first threaded connectors 652, each first mounting hole 65111 corresponds to at least one first threaded connector 652, that is, at least one first threaded connector 652 passes through one first mounting hole 65111. This can prevent the return member 61 from rotating and causing the distance between the contact sides of the two return members 61 to change, thereby ensuring that the contact side of the return member 61 can abut against the battery cell without causing excessive pressure on the battery cell to damage the battery cell when the preset displacement of the sixth power output member 642 remains unchanged.

[0110] Preferably, each first mounting hole 65111 corresponds to at least two first threaded connectors 652, that is, at least two first threaded connectors 652 pass through the same first mounting hole 65111. This is conducive to more securely locking the return member 61 at the mounting position.

[0111] In other embodiments, each mounting position may be provided with only a first mounting hole 65111, but one first mounting hole 65111 corresponds to a plurality of first threaded connectors 652, that is, the plurality of first threaded connectors 652 all pass through the same first mounting hole 65111 and simultaneously lock the return member 61 in the mounting position. This can also prevent the return member 61 from rotating and causing the distance between the contact sides of the two return members 61 to change.

[0112] Preferably, see Figure 6The first mounting seat 651 is provided with a first groove 6512, the bottom wall of the first groove 6512 forms a first mounting position 6511, and the first groove 6512 has two opposite side walls, namely a first limiting wall 65121 and a second limiting wall, the first limiting wall 65121 and the second limiting wall are both planar and perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sixth power output member 642. The mounting assembly 65 also includes a connecting column 653, both sides of the connecting column 653 are planar and respectively abut against the first limiting wall 65121 and the second limiting wall, the return member 61 is fixed to the connecting column 653, and the first threaded connector 652 is passed through the first mounting position 6511 and is threadedly connected to the connecting column 653. In this way, tightening the first threaded connector 652 can lock the connecting column 653 in the installation position, thereby placing the return member 61 in the installation position, and the abutment relationship between the connecting column 653, the first limiting wall 65121 and the second limiting wall can prevent the return member 61 from shifting in the horizontal direction, thereby ensuring that the contact side of the return member 61 can abut against the battery cell without causing excessive pressure on the battery cell and causing damage to the battery cell when the preset displacement of the sixth power output member 642 remains unchanged.

[0113] Illustratively, the first threaded connector 652 is a bolt or a screw.

[0114] To prevent the cells from falling out of the boat, the boat is usually in a vertical position. To push the cells out of the boat, the boat needs to be flipped to a horizontal position. Fig.11 The cell transport loading device 100 further includes a plurality of boat turning mechanisms 7, which are arranged one by one in correspondence with the boat clamping devices 3. The boat turning mechanism 7 has a second rotating shaft 71 capable of outputting rotational motion, and the supporting platform of each boat clamping device 3 is fixedly arranged on the second rotating shaft 71 corresponding to the boat turning mechanism 7. In this way, when the second transmission shaft rotates, the boat supporting platform 311 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the boat clamped by the two boat clamping members 3121 to rotate, and then turning the boat to a horizontal state or a vertical state.

[0115] See also Fig.11 The boat turning mechanism 7 further includes a fourth driving assembly 72, which includes a fourth seat body 721, a fourth power output member 722, and a second transmission member 723. The fourth seat body 721 is rotatably connected to the switching platform 4, and the fourth power output member 722 is slidably connected to the fourth seat body 721. The second transmission member 723 is rotatably connected to the fourth power output member 722 and fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 71, and the second rotating shaft 71 is rotatably connected to the switching platform 4, and the boat supporting platform 311 is fixedly arranged on the second rotating shaft 71. Fig.11 In the embodiment, the first boat 400 is in a horizontal state and the second boat 500 is in a vertical state. Fig.11 The two boat turning mechanisms 7 are in different states. Fig.11From the states of the two boat turning mechanisms 7, it can be seen that: when the fourth power output member 722 slides, the fourth seat body 721 rotates relative to the switching table 4, the second transmission member 723 rotates relative to the fourth power output member 722 and drives the second rotating shaft 71 to rotate, thereby driving the boat supporting platform 311 to rotate, and then driving the boat clamped by the two boat clamping members 3121 to rotate, thereby turning the boat to a horizontal state or a vertical state.

[0116] exist Fig.11 In the illustrated embodiment, the boat support platform 311 is fixed to the second rotating shaft 71 via a centering component.

[0117] In other embodiments, except for the boat clamping mechanism 31 , the battery cell transporting and loading device 100 provided by the present invention has the same structure as the battery cell transporting and loading device described in the background art.

[0118] See also Fig.12 The utility model also provides a battery cell transport and loading system, which includes a placement table 200, a conveying mechanism 300 and the above-mentioned battery cell transport and loading device 100. The placement table 200 is spaced apart from the frame 1 or fixed to the frame 1, and is used to place the above-mentioned first boat 400 and second boat 500. The conveying mechanism 300 is spaced apart from the frame 1 or fixed to the frame 1, and can convey the first boat 400 from one of the placement table 200 and a boat clamping device 3 to the other, and can convey the second boat 500 from one of the placement table 200 and another boat clamping device 3 to the other. Specifically, the transport mechanism 300 transports the first boat 400 carrying the battery cells to a boat clamping device 3, and after the battery cells in the first boat 400 are removed, the empty first boat 400 is transported to the placement table 200 by the boat clamping device 3; the transport mechanism 300 transports the empty second boat 500 to another boat clamping device 3, and after the battery cells are moved into the second boat 500, the second boat 500 carrying the battery cells is transported to the placement table 200 by the boat clamping device 3. Because the battery cell transport and loading system includes the above-mentioned battery cell transport and loading device 100, the battery cell transport and loading system has the technical effects of the above-mentioned battery cell transport and loading device 100. Since the relevant technical effects have been fully described in the foregoing text, they will not be repeated here.

[0119] Exemplarily, the placement table 200, the transport mechanism 300 and the cell transfer loading device 100 are fixed on the ground in sequence and at intervals. The transport mechanism 300 can be a robot.

[0120] 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.

[0121] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
