[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0037] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 3 The utility model describes a battery module conveying mechanism.

[0038] In this embodiment, the battery module conveying mechanism includes a support platform 1, a conveying assembly 2 and a driving assembly 3. The support platform 1 is used to place the tooling plate of the battery module; the conveying assembly 2 includes a bearing component 21 and a friction transmission component 22; one end of the bearing component 21 is used to bear the tooling plate, and the other end of the bearing component 21 is in transmission connection with the friction transmission component 22; the driving assembly 3 is in transmission connection with the friction transmission component 22. When the resistance of the friction transmission component 22 to the tooling plate is greater than its internal friction, the tooling plate is in a stationary state; otherwise, the tooling plate is in a transmission state.

[0039] Specifically, the friction transmission component 22 in this embodiment has a transmission mode and a standby mode, and can switch between the transmission mode and the standby mode according to the resistance provided by the tooling plate. When the resistance of the tooling plate to the friction transmission component 22 is greater than its internal friction (when the weight of the tooling plate is large), the friction transmission component 22 switches to the standby mode, and the friction transmission component 22 cuts off the transmission connection between the drive assembly 3 and the bearing component 21, and the tooling plate is in a stationary state. When the resistance of the tooling plate to the friction transmission component 22 is less than or equal to its internal friction, the friction transmission component 22 switches to the transmission mode, and the bearing component 21 can be connected to the drive assembly 3 through the friction transmission component 22 for the transmission of the tooling plate. As a result, the battery module conveying mechanism can carry heavier tooling plates, and there will be no friction between the line body and the tooling plate.

[0040] The battery module conveying mechanism provided by the utility model carries the tooling plate through the bearing component 21 on the conveying component 2. When the resistance of the friction transmission component 22 to the tooling plate is greater than its internal friction, the friction transmission component 22 cuts off the transmission connection between the bearing component 21 and the drive component 3, so that the tooling plate is in a static state. When the resistance of the friction transmission component 22 to the tooling plate is smaller, the bearing component 21 can be connected to the drive component 3 through the friction transmission component 22 for the transmission of the tooling plate.

[0041] In one embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the bearing component 21 includes a roller 211, a roller shaft 212 and a bearing gear 213; the bearing component 21 is arranged on the supporting platform 1, and one end of the roller shaft 212 is connected to the roller 211 for abutting against the tooling plate; the other end of the roller shaft 212 is provided with a bearing gear 213 for transmission connection with the friction transmission component 22.

[0042] The design of the bearing component 21 is to meet the requirements of efficient and stable bearing. The selection and arrangement of the rollers 211 are carefully designed to reduce rolling resistance and improve operating efficiency while ensuring the bearing capacity. The roller shaft 212 is the core component of the bearing component 21, which connects the rollers 211 with the bearing gears 213 to form a powerful transmission system.

[0043] One end of the roller shaft 212 is connected to a roller 211. This design enables the bearing component 21 to be closely in contact with the tooling plate, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the bearing. At the other end, the bearing gear 213 is connected to the friction transmission component 22, so that the bearing component 21 can form an effective transmission connection with the friction transmission component 22. This design not only ensures the efficient operation of the bearing component 21, but also reduces the friction loss between components, thereby improving the life and reliability of the entire system.

[0044] The design of the friction transmission component 22 is also exquisite, and it can effectively transmit power to the bearing component 21 to achieve accurate positioning and control. In the embodiment, the friction transmission component 22 adopts a special material and structure to withstand high-intensity friction and wear.

[0045] In addition, the bearing component 21 can also be adjusted and optimized according to actual application scenarios and requirements. For example, the material, diameter and number of the rollers 211 can be changed to adapt to different loads and operating conditions; the length of the roller shaft 212 and the number of teeth of the bearing gear 213 can be adjusted to increase or decrease the transmission speed and torque, etc. In this way, the bearing component 21 can better meet various complex and diverse application requirements and play a greater role.

[0046] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the friction transmission component 22 includes a transmission gear 221, an elastic member 222, a first stopper 223 and a second stopper 224. The driving assembly 3 includes a first rotating shaft 31 and a driving member 32 that is transmission-connected to the first rotating shaft 31. The transmission gear 221 is meshed with the load-bearing gear 213, the first stopper 223 and the second stopper 224 are arranged on the first rotating shaft 31 at intervals, the transmission gear 221 is arranged on the first rotating shaft 31, and is located between the first stopper 223 and the second stopper 224, one end of the transmission gear 221 is in surface contact with the first stopper 223, and the elastic member 222 abuts between the second stopper 224 and the other end of the transmission gear 221.

[0047] During operation, when the resistance of the tooling plate to the transmission gear 221 is greater than the internal friction between it and the first limit member 223 (when the weight of the tooling plate is large), the friction transmission component 22 switches to the standby mode, the driving member 32 drives the first rotating shaft 31 to rotate, and the first limit member 223 rotates with the first rotating shaft 31, but the transmission connection between the transmission gear 221 and the first limit member 223 is disconnected, and the tooling plate cannot rotate through the driving roller 211, and the tooling plate is in a stationary state.

[0048] When the resistance of the tooling plate on the transmission gear 221 is less than or equal to its internal friction, the friction transmission component 22 switches to the transmission mode, and the driving member 32 drives the first rotating shaft 31, the first limiting member 223, the transmission gear 221, the load-bearing gear 213, the roller rotating shaft 212 and the roller 211 to rotate in sequence, so that the tooling plate on the roller 211 is transmitted.

[0049] In this embodiment, the distance between the first limit member 223 and the second limit member 224 can be adjusted as needed, so as to adjust the friction force of the surface contact between the transmission gear 221 and the first limit member 223 through the support of the transmission gear 221 by the elastic member 222 to adapt to tooling plates of different specifications.

[0050] It should be pointed out that if Figure 3 As shown, the transmission gear 221 or the load-bearing gear 213 is a bevel gear, or both the transmission gear 221 and the load-bearing gear 213 are bevel gears.

[0051] In a specific embodiment of the utility model, the design parameters of the bevel gear can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the tooth shape can be straight teeth, helical teeth or bevel teeth, etc.; the number of teeth and the module can be selected according to the required transmission ratio and torque. During the manufacturing process, heat treatment and grinding processes can be used to improve the hardness and precision of the bevel gear.

[0052] In another specific embodiment of the utility model, when installing and adjusting the bevel gears, the center distance and angle of the two bevel gears are first determined according to the design parameters. Then, these parameters are adjusted to the optimal values ​​through precise installation and adjustment methods, such as using high-precision measuring instruments and adjustment tools. This can effectively reduce or eliminate the axial force, thereby improving the stability of the transmission system.

[0053] The bevel gear transmission system of the utility model can effectively reduce or eliminate the axial force and improve the stability of the transmission system by accurately installing and adjusting. In addition, by accurately controlling the design parameters and manufacturing process of the bevel gear, the manufacturing accuracy of the bevel gear can be improved and the transmission effect can be further optimized.

[0054] In addition, if Figure 3 As shown, the friction transmission component 22 also includes a support bearing 225. The support bearing 225 is arranged on the first rotating shaft 31, and the support bearing 225 is located between the elastic member 222 and the transmission gear 221. The function of the support bearing 225 is to bear the load of the first rotating shaft 31 and reduce the friction between the elastic member 222 and the transmission gear 221. It is made of high-strength and high-wear-resistant materials to ensure that it can maintain good load-bearing capacity and stability during long-term operation. In addition, the design and material selection of the support bearing 225 should also take into account the overall weight and rotation speed of the friction transmission component 22 to ensure that it does not generate excessive vibration and noise when running at high speed. The other end of the first rotating shaft 31 is connected to the transmission gear 221. The function of the transmission gear 221 is to transmit the rotational force of the first rotating shaft 31 to other components. In order to improve the transmission efficiency and reduce the noise, the transmission gear 221 is made of hard and high-strength materials and is precisely processed with teeth. During the transmission process, the transmission gear 221 works in coordination with the support bearing 225 and the elastic member 222, and has good stability and reliability.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of conveying assemblies 2 are provided, and the friction transmission component 22 of each conveying assembly 2 is transmission-connected to the driving assembly 3 .

[0056] A single driving assembly 3 is generally provided with a plurality of conveying assemblies 2 so that the driving assembly 3 can simultaneously drive a plurality of bearing components 21 through a plurality of friction transmission components 22 .

[0057] Such a design makes the conveying assembly 2 highly flexible and reliable. In actual operation, when the resistance of a certain friction transmission component 22 to the tooling plate is greater than its internal friction, the friction transmission component 22 can promptly cut off the transmission connection with the bearing component 21, effectively preventing equipment failure caused by excessive resistance of the tooling plate. At the same time, other bearing components 21 can continue to maintain normal operation, ensuring the stability and continuity of the entire conveying system.

[0058] In addition, the connection method between the friction transmission components 22 and the drive components 3 between the multiple conveying components 2 also helps to improve the transmission efficiency of the system and reduce energy consumption. Because when the drive component 3 drives the multiple friction transmission components 22, the concentrated transmission of power can be achieved, thereby reducing friction loss and improving transmission efficiency. At the same time, the drive component 3 can control different conveying components 2 separately according to the working conditions, so that the entire system can respond to various production needs more flexibly.

[0059] In order to increase the internal friction of the conveying tooling plate, anti-slip grooves are provided on the contact surface between the transmission gear 221 and the first limiter 223 , and / or the contact surface between the first limiter 223 and the transmission gear 221 .

[0060] These anti-skid patterns can be grooves, protrusions, serrations or any other shape, and are designed to increase the friction between the contact surfaces, thereby providing better stability during transmission. Through precise design and controlled manufacturing processes, these anti-skid patterns can ensure sufficient strength while still providing good anti-skid effects.

[0061] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the conveying assembly includes: a driving member 32, a first rotating shaft 31, a second rotating shaft 33 and a third rotating shaft 34; the first rotating shaft 31, the second rotating shaft 33 and the third rotating shaft 34 are all arranged on the supporting platform 1, and the driving member 32 is sequentially connected to the second rotating shaft 33 and the third rotating shaft 34 through the first rotating shaft 31; the friction transmission component 22 of the conveying assembly 2 is arranged on the first rotating shaft 31 or the third rotating shaft 34.

[0062] When there are multiple conveying assemblies 2, the friction transmission components 22 of each conveying assembly 2 are arranged on the first rotating shaft 31 and / or the third rotating shaft 34, so that when conveying the tooling board, a single driving member 32 can drive multiple conveying assemblies 2, so that the tooling board can be conveyed through multiple friction transmission components 22. In actual work, when the tooling board resistance of a friction transmission component 22 is greater than its internal friction, the friction transmission component 22 can cut off the transmission connection with the bearing component 21 in time, effectively preventing equipment failure caused by excessive tooling board resistance. At the same time, other bearing components 21 can continue to maintain normal operation, ensuring the stability and continuity of the entire conveying system.

[0063] Furthermore, the driving member 32 is a motor or a cylinder.

[0064] In one embodiment, the driving member 32 is a motor. The motor transmits power to the second rotating shaft 33 and the third rotating shaft 34 through the first rotating shaft 31. The motor is powered by AC or DC, and the appropriate power and speed are selected according to actual needs. By controlling the start, stop and speed of the motor, the working state of the conveying assembly 2 can be accurately controlled to achieve automatic conveying.

[0065] The selection of motors should take into account factors such as power, speed, stability and life. For applications that require high torque and high stability, motors with high power and good stability can be selected. For applications that require precise control of the conveying speed, adjustable speed motors can be selected and precisely controlled through a controller.

[0066] In another embodiment of the utility model, the driving member 32 may also be a cylinder. The cylinder transmits power to the second rotating shaft 33 and the third rotating shaft 34 through the first rotating shaft 31. The cylinder uses compressed gas as a power source, and the working state of the conveying assembly 2 can be accurately controlled by controlling the flow rate and pressure of the gas.

[0067] The selection of cylinders should take into account factors such as stroke, thrust, speed and stability. For occasions that require greater thrust and high stability, cylinders with greater stroke and thrust can be selected. For occasions that require precise control of the conveying position, auxiliary equipment such as throttle valves and sensors with precise control functions can be selected to achieve precise control of the conveying position.

[0068] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment, the battery module conveying mechanism further includes: a position sensor, which is arranged on the supporting platform 1 and is used to detect the position of the tooling plate transmission. The position sensor can be a photoelectric sensor, a proximity sensor or an encoder, etc., which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0069] The position sensor can detect the transmission position of the tooling plate in real time and feed the position information back to the control system. The control system accurately controls the drive member 32 according to the position information to ensure that the tooling plate is accurately and stably transmitted to the specified position. This design can improve the accuracy and stability of transmission, reduce errors and failures, and improve the efficiency and reliability of the entire battery module production line.

[0070] In addition, position sensors can also communicate and control with other devices or systems to achieve more advanced automation and intelligent functions. For example, position sensors can be linked with manipulators or other automated equipment to achieve automated assembly, testing, and packaging operations, further simplifying production line processes and improving production efficiency.

[0071] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the utility model.
