DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a battery box conveying and grouping device includes a first conveyor 1 and a second conveyor 4, a carrying plate 2 is provided at the conveying end of the first conveyor 1, a movable plate 3 is provided at the end of the carrying plate 2 away from the first conveyor 1, the movable plate 3 includes a bottom plate 301 and a vertical plate 302, the end of the bottom plate 301 away from the carrying plate 2 is connected to the vertical plate 302, the driving end of a linear drive device 8 is connected to the vertical plate 302, the linear drive device 8 is one of a linear drive motor, a cylinder, and an oil cylinder, the linear drive device 8 drives the movable plate 3 away from the carrying plate 2 so that a gap 10 is left between the movable plate 3 and the carrying plate 2, a pushing device 9 is provided on one side of the gap 10, the second conveyor 4 is located on the other side of the gap 10, and a partition device 6 for separating battery boxes is provided above the second conveyor 4.

[0024] In this embodiment, first, a plurality of battery boxes are conveyed on the first conveyor 1 toward the carrying plate 2. Figure 1 As shown, the width of the carrier plate 2 and the bottom plate 301 is equal to the width of the battery box, and the vertical plate 302 will play a positioning role in the transportation of the battery box. Therefore, the two battery boxes will be located on the top of the carrier plate 2 and the bottom plate 301 respectively after being transported by the first conveyor 1. At this time, the first conveyor 1 stops working, and the linear drive device 8 starts working, driving the bottom plate 301 away from the carrier plate 2, thereby separating the two adjacent battery boxes, and then, the pushing device 9 works. The pushing device 9 is composed of a cylinder 901 and a push plate 902. The output shaft end of the cylinder 901 facing the gap 10 is connected to the push plate 902. The height of the push plate 902 is higher than the carrier plate 2. Therefore, the cylinder 901 can drive the push plate 902 to move, so that the push plate 902 pushes the two battery boxes on the carrier plate 2 and the bottom plate 301 together to the second conveyor 4, and the two battery boxes entering the second conveyor 4 will be further separated by the partition device 6, so as to be transported from both sides of the second conveyor 4 respectively, so as to complete the grouped transportation operation of the battery boxes.

[0025] The push plate 902 is triangular in shape and the top angle of the triangle is aligned with the center of the gap 10 , so the push plate 902 is easily inserted into the gap between the two battery boxes, thereby pushing the two battery boxes apart.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the frame 401 of the second conveyor 4 is provided with limit plates 5 on both sides, and the limit plates 5 can prevent the battery box from falling from the side of the second conveyor 4, wherein, Figure 2 As shown, the partition device 6 includes a triangular plate 601, a trapezoidal plate 602 and a rectangular plate 603. The trapezoidal plate 602 is located between the triangular plate 601 and the rectangular plate 603, and the angle gradually becomes gentle. It cooperates with the limit plate 5 to form two channels to facilitate the grouped conveying of the battery boxes. The triangular plate 601, the trapezoidal plate 602 and the rectangular plate 603 are integrally formed, and the top angle of the triangular plate 601 points to the center position of the gap 10. Therefore, when the two battery boxes just enter the second conveyor 4, they will be further separated by the triangular plate 601 to realize the grouped conveying operation.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the partition device 6 is connected to the limiting plate 5 via the connecting frame 7, and the partition device 6 does not contact the conveying roller of the second conveyor 4, so it will not interfere with the normal rotation of the conveying roller.

[0028] Working principle, first, multiple battery boxes are conveyed toward the supporting plate 2 on the first conveyor 1, and the vertical plate 302 will play a positioning role in the conveying of the battery boxes. Therefore, the two battery boxes will be located on the top of the supporting plate 2 and the bottom plate 301 respectively after being conveyed by the first conveyor 1. At this time, the first conveyor 1 stops working, and the linear drive device 8 starts working, driving the bottom plate 301 away from the supporting plate 2, thereby separating the two adjacent battery boxes, and forming a gap 10 between the bottom plate 301 and the supporting plate 2. Then, the cylinder 901 drives the push plate 902 to move, so that the push plate 902 pushes the two battery boxes on the supporting plate 2 and the bottom plate 301 together to the second conveyor 4. Since there is space between the two battery boxes, and the two battery boxes entering the second conveyor 4 will be further separated by the partition device 6, the two battery boxes will be conveyed from both sides of the second conveyor 4 respectively to complete the grouped conveying operation of the battery boxes, which is convenient for further processing of the battery boxes in subsequent processes.

[0029] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection claimed by the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
