[0078] Below, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail.

[0079] At present, the application of power batteries is becoming more and more extensive. Power batteries are not only used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power stations, but also widely used in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric cars, as well as military equipment and aerospace and other fields. With the continuous expansion of the application field of power batteries, the market demand is also constantly expanding.

[0080] In the production process of batteries, the battery cells need to be transported and turned through the rotating conveyor equipment. During the production, commissioning and maintenance of the rotating conveyor equipment, the protective cover outside the rotating conveyor equipment needs to be manually removed and then reinstalled.

[0081] However, the installation and removal status of the protective cover cannot be monitored, and it often happens that the protective cover is completely or partially removed but the rotating conveying equipment continues to operate, which undoubtedly poses certain safety risks.

[0082] Therefore, how to monitor the installation and removal status of the protective cover to reduce safety risks is an important issue in battery production and processing.

[0083] In view of this, the present application provides a technical solution, which solves the above technical problems by designing the first protective device to include a frame and a first shell that can be detached from the frame, and configuring a first in-place detection component on the frame. The first in-place detection component is used to detect whether the first shell is installed on the frame, thereby providing a detection basis for the operation of the rotating conveying equipment.

[0084] The following is combined with Figure 1-7 The battery rotating conveying device provided in the embodiment of the present application is introduced.

[0085] Combined with Figure 1 and 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery rotating conveying device 1000, including a rotating conveying device 100 and a first protective device 200, wherein the rotating conveying device 100 is used to receive the battery cell 700, and is used to rotate the battery cell 700 and output it; the first protective device 200 is covered outside the rotating conveying device 100, and the first protective device 200 includes a first frame 210 and a first shell 220 connected to the first frame 210; wherein a first in-place detection member 230 is installed on the first frame 210, and when the first shell 220 is installed on the first frame 210, the first in-place detection member 230 is in a first state, and when the first shell 220 is detached from the first frame 210, the first in-place detection member 230 is in a second state.

[0086] The first frame 210 of this embodiment may be a rectangular frame as shown in the figure, or may be other shapes such as a cylindrical prism, which are not listed one by one in this embodiment.

[0087] The first shell 220 can be an integral structure or a split structure. After being assembled with the first frame 210 , the whole shell 220 forms a protective cover with an open lower end, so as to facilitate direct installation from above the rotating conveying device 100 .

[0088] The detachable connection between the first shell 220 and the first frame 210 may be a bolt connection, or a snap connection, a plug connection, etc., as long as the first shell 220 can be detached and assembled on the first frame 210 at any time.

[0089] The first in-position detection member 230 may be a micro switch. After the first housing 220 is mounted to the first frame 210, the micro switch is in one of an open and closed state. After the first housing 220 is separated from the first frame 210, the micro switch is in another open and closed state. Based on the above state, a signal may be transmitted to the control device described below, and the control device determines whether to operate the rotary conveyor 100.

[0090] Of course, the first in-position detection member 230 can also be a sensor structure, such as an infrared sensor, a laser sensor, etc. When the first housing 220 is installed on the first frame 210, the infrared sensor or the laser sensor detects the first housing 220 and transmits a signal to the control device. At this time, the first state can be an open state after the sensor detects an object signal, or a closed state after detecting an object. The control device can be an independent control system for controlling the rotating conveying device 100, or it can be a control circuit or controller structure of the rotating conveying device 100 itself.

[0091] Of course, the control device may not be used, and the first in-position detection member 230 may be directly connected to the rotating conveying device 100 by telecommunication. The first in-position detection member 230 is a switch for opening and closing the rotating conveying device 100. When the first in-position detection member 230 is in the first state, the rotating conveying device 100 directly stops running.

[0092] The first housing 220 has a first feed port 2221 and a first discharge port 2222. For example, the rotating conveyor 100 rotates the battery cell 700 by 90°. At this time, the feed direction of the first feed port 2221 is perpendicular to the discharge direction of the first discharge port 2222. The optional structural form of the rotating conveyor 100 is given below.

[0093] When the first shell 220 of this embodiment is installed, the first in-place detection member 230 is in a first state. After the first shell 220 is removed, the first in-place detection member 230 is in a second state. By obtaining the state of the first in-place detection member 230, it can be determined whether the rotating conveying device 100 is protected by the first protective device 200. When it is determined that there is no protection from the first protective device 200, the rotating conveying device 100 can be stopped to reduce safety risks.

[0094] In some examples, optionally, the first shell 220 includes a first top plate 221 and multiple first side plates 222, the top plate is located at the top of the first frame 210, and the multiple first side plates 222 are located around the first frame 210. The number of first in-place detection members 230 is multiple, and the first top plate 221 and each first side plate 222 respectively cooperate with at least one first in-place detection member 230.

[0095] The first top plate 221 and the first side plates 222 may be connected to form the first housing 220 as an integral structure (this embodiment is not shown in the figure). Alternatively, the first top plate 221 and the first side plates 222 may not be directly connected but may be indirectly connected through the first frame 210 to form a housing structure.

[0096] When the first top plate 221 and multiple first side plates 222 are interconnected to form an integral structure, the first top plate 221 and / or the first side plate 222 may be detachably connected to the first frame 210; when the first top plate 221 and multiple first side plates 222 are not connected to each other, it is necessary to detachably connect the first top plate 221 to the first frame 210, and detachably connect the first side plate 222 to the first frame 210.

[0097] The first top plate 221 is installed on the top of the first frame 210 to protect the top of the rotating conveying device 100. After the first top plate 221 is installed in place, the first in-place detection member 230 located on the top is in a first state. After the first top plate 221 is removed, the first in-place detection member 230 is in a second state.

[0098] A plurality of first side plates 222 are installed around the first frame 210 to protect the rotating conveying device 100. After the first side plate 222 is installed, the first in-place detection member 230 opposite thereto is in a first state. After the first side plate 222 is removed, the first in-place detection member 230 is in a second state.

[0099] One of the plurality of first side plates 222 is provided with a feed port 2221 , and another is provided with a discharge port 2222 . The battery cells 700 enter the rotating conveying device 100 through the feed port 2221 , and then are output to the outside of the first protection device 200 through the discharge port 2222 .

[0100] The first shell 220 is designed to include a first top plate 221 and multiple first side plates 222, and the number of first in-place detection members 230 is designed to be multiple. Multiple first in-place detection members 230 can be used to respectively detect whether the first top plate 221 and multiple first side plates 222 are installed in place, thereby improving the accuracy of detection.

[0101] In some examples, optionally, the first shell 220 is a split structure, with a gap between the first top plate 221 and each first side plate 222, and a gap between two adjacent first side plates 222 along the surrounding direction of the multiple first side plates 222, and the first top plate 221 and each multiple first side plate 222 are respectively detachably connected to the first frame 210.

[0102] Taking the first frame 210 in the figure as a rectangular frame as an example, the first top plate 221 is directly and detachably installed on the top of the frame, and the four first side plates 222 are installed one by one at the four openings around the rectangular frame, thereby protecting the top and sides of the rotating conveying device 100.

[0103] During disassembly, the first side plate 222 or the top plate at the position that needs to be inspected can be selectively removed without removing the entire first shell 220, thereby facilitating the inspection work.

[0104] Moreover, the first shell 220 is designed as a split structure, and the first top plate 221 and the plurality of side plates are detachably connected to the first frame 210, and the plurality of first in-place detection members 230 are used to detect the states of the first top plate 221 and the plurality of first side plates 222, respectively. This not only facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the first top plate 221 and the first side plates 222, but also enables the first in-place detection member 230 to provide feedback after the top plate or any of the first side plates 222 is disassembled, thereby selecting the operating state of the rotating conveyor 100 and reducing safety risks.

[0105] Combined with Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the rotating conveying device 100 includes a rotating component 110 and a first conveying component 120. The first conveying component 120 is installed on the rotating component 110. The rotating component 110 is used to drive the first conveying component 120 to rotate. The first conveying component 120 has opposite first feed end 1211 and first discharge end 1212. The first feed end 1211 is used to receive the battery cell 700, and the first discharge end 1212 is used to output the rotated battery cell 700.

[0106] In addition to the rotating assembly 110 and the first conveying assembly 120 , the rotating conveying device 100 also includes a first base frame 130 . The first base frame 130 has any structural form and mainly supports the rotating assembly 110 . The rotating assembly 110 is directly installed on the platform of the first base frame 130 .

[0107] The rotating assembly 110 is used to drive the first conveying assembly 120 to rotate to achieve the turning of the battery cell 700. The rotating assembly 110 may include a rotating drive member 111 and a rotating frame 112. The rotating drive member 111 may drive the rotating frame 112 to rotate by direct motor drive, direct hydraulic cylinder or air cylinder drive, motor drive gear, chain or belt drive, etc., as long as the rotating frame 112 can be rotated at an angle greater than or equal to 90°.

[0108] The first conveying assembly 120 is used to convey the battery cells 700 after rotation. The first conveying assembly 120 may include a first belt conveying structure 121 and may also include a plurality of first guide rollers 122 disposed on both sides of the first belt conveying structure 121 to guide the forward direction of the battery cells 700 .

[0109] Combined with the attachment again Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, optionally, the rotating conveying device 100 also includes a first blocking assembly 140, the first blocking assembly 140 includes a first blocking member 141, the first blocking member 141 is configured to be able to move between a first blocking position and a first release position, when the first blocking member 141 is in the first blocking position, the first blocking member 141 blocks the battery cell 700 from entering the first conveying assembly 120 from the first feed end 1211, and when the first blocking member 141 is in the first release position, the first blocking member 141 releases the blocking of the battery cell 700.

[0110] The first blocking member 141 may be a plate-shaped member or a block-shaped member, and may also be other shapes, as long as it can block the battery cells 700 from entering the first conveying assembly 120 .

[0111] The first blocking position may be that the first blocking member 141 is located above the feed end of the first conveying assembly 120 and is located on the path of the battery cell 700 entering the feed end of the first conveying assembly 120. Similarly, the first releasing position may be any position on the path of the first blocking member 141 leaving the battery cell 700 and entering the feed end of the first conveying assembly 120, for example, located below the feed end of the first conveying assembly 120.

[0112] In addition to the first blocking member 141, the first blocking assembly 140 also includes a first blocking driving member (not shown in the figure). The first blocking driving member can be any linear reciprocating motion structure, such as a hydraulic rod, a gas rod, an electric rod, a battery-driven gear rack, etc., as long as it can drive the first assembly to move between the first blocking position and the first release position.

[0113] By configuring the first blocking assembly 140 , the risk of the battery cells 700 falling from the first receiving end during the rotation of the first conveying assembly 120 can be reduced.

[0114] In some examples, optionally, the rotary conveying device 100 further includes a first detection component 150 , and the first detection component 150 is used to detect the position of the first blocking member 141 .

[0115] The first detection component 150 may be composed of a sensor, for example, a distance sensor directly mounted on the first conveying component 120 or the rotating component 110. The distance sensor determines whether it is in the first blocking position or the first release position by detecting the distance between itself and the first blocking member 141.

[0116] The first detection component 150 can be electrically connected to the control device described below. The first detection component 150 can detect whether the first blocking member 141 is in the first blocking position or the first releasing position, so that the control device can determine whether the first conveying component 120 can be driven to rotate by the rotating component 110.

[0117] In some examples, optionally, the first detection component 150 includes a first blocking position sensor 151 and a first release position sensor 152, wherein the first blocking position sensor 151 is used to detect whether the first blocking member 141 is in the first blocking position, and the first release position sensor 152 is used to detect whether the first blocking member 141 is in the first release position.

[0118] The first blocking position sensor 151 and the first releasing position sensor 152 can both be distance sensors, such as laser or infrared sensors, and can be installed on the rotating frame 112 or the first conveying assembly 120 .

[0119] The first blocking position sensor 151 can be used to accurately determine whether the first blocking member 141 is in the first blocking position, and the first releasing position sensor 152 can be used to accurately determine whether the first blocking member 141 is in the releasing position. The two positions of the first blocking member 141 can be detected separately, with higher detection accuracy.

[0120] In some examples, optionally, the rotating conveying device 100 also includes a second blocking assembly 160, the second blocking assembly 160 has a second blocking member 161, and the second blocking member 161 is configured to be able to move between a second blocking position and a second release position. When the second blocking member 161 is in the second blocking position, the second blocking member 161 blocks the battery cell 700 from being output from the first discharge end 1212. When the second blocking member 161 is in the second release position, the battery cell 700 releases the blocking of the battery cell 700.

[0121] The second blocking assembly 160 has the same or similar structure as the first blocking assembly 140 , and may include a second blocking member 161 and a second blocking driving member (not shown in the figure). The second blocking driving member has the same or similar structure as the aforementioned first blocking driving member.

[0122] The second blocking position may be that the second blocking member 161 is located near the discharge end of the first conveying assembly 120 and is located on the path where the battery cells 700 are transported outward from the discharge end of the first conveying assembly 120. Similarly, the first releasing position may be any position where the first blocking member 141 leaves the path where the battery cells 700 are transported outward from the discharge end of the first conveying assembly 120, for example, located below the discharge end of the first conveying assembly 120.

[0123] By configuring the second blocking assembly 160 , the risk of the battery cells 700 falling from the first discharge end 1212 during the rotation of the first conveying assembly 120 can be reduced.

[0124] In some examples, optionally, the rotary conveying device 100 further includes a second detection component 170 , and the second detection component 170 is used to detect the position of the second blocking member 161 .

[0125] The second detection component 170 has the same or similar structure as the aforementioned first detection component 150 , and is mainly used to detect whether the second blocking member 161 is in the second blocking position or the second release position, so as to determine whether the first conveying component 120 can be driven to rotate by the rotating component 110 .

[0126] In some examples, optionally, the second detection component 170 includes a second blocking position sensor 171 and a second release position sensor 172, wherein the second blocking position sensor 171 is used to detect whether the second blocking member 161 is in the second blocking position, and the second release position sensor 172 is used to detect whether the second blocking member 161 is in the second release position.

[0127] The second blocking in place sensor 171 and the second releasing in place sensor 172 have the same or similar structures as the aforementioned first blocking in place sensor 151 and the first releasing in place sensor 152. For example, both can be laser or infrared sensors, and their installation position can be located below the discharge end of the first conveying component 120.

[0128] The second detection component 170 is designed to include a second blocking position sensor 171 and a second release position sensor 172. The second blocking position sensor 171 and the second release position sensor 172 can be detected separately to determine whether the second blocking member 161 is located at the second blocking position or the second release position, and the detection accuracy is higher.

[0129] In some examples, optionally, the rotating conveying device 100 also includes a first feed detection member 180, which is used to detect whether the battery cell 700 reaches the first feed end 1211; and / or, the rotating conveying device 100 also includes a first discharge detection member 190, which is used to detect whether the battery cell 700 reaches the first discharge end 1212.

[0130] The above technical solution includes three implementation modes. One is that the rotary conveyor device 100 only includes the first material feeding detection member 180, but does not include the first material discharging detection member 190. Another is that the rotary conveyor device 100 only includes the first material discharging detection member 190, but does not include the first material feeding detection member 180. Another is that the rotary conveyor device 100 includes both the first material discharging detection member 190 and the first material feeding detection member 180.

[0131] The first feeding detection member 180 and the first discharging detection member 190 may both be sensor structures, such as distance sensors, proximity sensors, etc. Both may be mounted on the first chassis 130 , the first feeding detection member 180 may be located below the first feeding end 1211 of the first conveying assembly 120 , and the first discharging detection member 190 may be located below the first discharging end 1212 of the first conveying assembly 120 .

[0132] When the battery cell 700 enters the feed end of the first conveying assembly 120, the first feed detection member 180 can detect whether the battery cell 700 reaches the first feed end 1211, so that subsequent conveying can be performed and the first blocking member 141 can be reset to the first blocking position.

[0133] When the battery cell 700 enters the discharge end of the first conveying assembly 120 , the first discharge detection member 190 can determine whether the battery cell 700 has reached the first discharge end 1212 , thereby providing a basis for subsequent operations.

[0134] Combined with Figure 1 and attached Figure 5 As shown, in some examples, optionally, the battery rotary conveyor device 1000 further includes a feeding device 300 , and the feeding device 300 includes a second conveying assembly 310 , and the second conveying assembly 310 is used to convey the battery cells 700 to the rotary conveyor device 100 .

[0135] The feeding device 300 includes a second base frame 320 and a second conveying assembly 310 installed on the second base frame 320 . The second base frame 320 has any structural form and is mainly used to support and install the second conveying assembly 310 .

[0136] The second conveying assembly 310 may also include a second belt conveying structure 311 , and a plurality of second guide rollers 312 are provided on both sides of the second belt conveying structure 311 to guide the conveying direction of the battery cells 700 .

[0137] The second feed end 3111 of the second conveying assembly 310 faces away from the above-mentioned rotating conveying device 100, and the second discharge end 3112 of the second conveying assembly 310 is connected to the feed port 2221 of the first protection device 200. The battery cells 700 are provided to the rotating conveying device 100 through the feeding device 300, and then the rotating conveying device 100 receives the battery cells 700 conveyed by the feeding device 300 and turns the battery cells 700 for output.

[0138] Combined with Figure 6 As shown, in some examples, optionally, the feeding device 300 also includes a third blocking assembly 330, the second conveying assembly 310 has an opposite second feeding end 3111 and a second discharging end 3112, the third blocking assembly 330 is located between the second feeding end 3111 and the second discharging end 3112, and is arranged close to the second discharging end 3112, the third blocking assembly 330 has a third blocking member 331, and the third blocking member 331 is configured to be able to move between a third blocking position and a third release position. When the third blocking member 331 is in the third blocking position, the third blocking member 331 blocks the battery cell 700 from being conveyed to the second discharging end 3112, and when the third blocking member 331 is in the third release position, the third blocking member 331 releases the blocking of the battery cell 700.

[0139] The function of the third blocking assembly 330 is to stop the battery cell 700 from moving from the second conveying assembly 310 to the rotating conveying device 100. When the rotating conveying device 100 is not ready to receive the battery cell 700, the third blocking assembly 330 can block the battery cell 700 on the second conveying assembly 310, thereby reducing the risk of the battery cell 700 falling from the second discharge end 3112.

[0140] The third blocking assembly 330 has a similar function to the aforementioned first blocking assembly 140 and second blocking assembly 160 , but the structure may be the same or different. However, the third blocking assembly 330 of this embodiment may be located above the second conveying assembly 310 and between the feed end and the discharge end of the second conveying assembly 310 .

[0141] The third blocking assembly 330 can be installed on the second frame 410 of the second protection device 400 described below, which may include a third blocking driver 332 and a third blocking driver 331. The third blocking driver 332 may be a linear reciprocating motion structure such as a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, or may be a driving structure that outputs torque through a motor or the like.

[0142] The third blocking member 331 may be in a plate shape or a block shape, and this embodiment does not impose too many restrictions on this, as long as it can block the battery cell 700.

[0143] In some examples, optionally, the feeding device 300 further includes a third detection component 340, and the third detection component 340 is used to detect whether the third blocking member 331 is in a third blocking position or a third releasing position.

[0144] The detection principle of the third detection component 340 is the same or similar to that of the first detection component 150 and the second detection component 170 , and the structure may also be the same.

[0145] The third detection assembly 340 can be directly mounted on the third blocking assembly 330 . For example, when the third blocking driving member 332 is a cylinder, the third detection assembly 340 can be directly mounted on the cylinder body or piston rod of the cylinder.

[0146] By configuring the second detection component 170 , it can be detected whether the second blocking member 161 is in the second blocking position or the second releasing position, so as to determine whether the first conveying component 120 can be driven to rotate by the rotating component 110 .

[0147] In some examples, optionally, the third detection component 340 includes a third blocking position sensor 341 and a third release position sensor 342, wherein the third blocking position sensor 341 is used to detect whether the third blocking member 331 is in the third blocking position, and the third release position sensor 342 is used to detect whether the third blocking member 331 is in the third release position.

[0148] The third blocking position sensor 341 and the third releasing position sensor 342 can both be laser or infrared sensors, or other sensors capable of detecting distance.

[0149] In some embodiments, the third blocking position sensor 341 can be installed on the piston rod of the third blocking driving member 332, and determine whether the piston rod drives the third blocking member 331 to move to the third blocking position by judging the distance between itself and the second conveying assembly 310.

[0150] In some embodiments, the third release-to-position sensor 342 can be installed on the cylinder of the third blocking driving member 332, and detects whether the third blocking member 331 moves to the third release position by judging the distance between itself and the third blocking member 331.

[0151] By configuring the third detection assembly 340 , it is possible to detect whether the third blocking member 331 is in the third blocking position or the third releasing position, thereby determining whether the battery cell 700 can continue to be transported.

[0152] In some examples, optionally, the feeding device 300 further includes a speed detection member 350 , which is located between the second feeding end 3111 and the third blocking assembly 330 and is used to detect the speed of the battery cells 700 located on the second conveying assembly 310 .

[0153] The speed detection member 350 is fixedly mounted on the second conveying assembly 310 and can be any type of speed detection sensor. The speed detection member 350 can detect the conveying speed of the battery cell 700. When the conveying speed of the battery cell 700 is too fast, the inertia of the battery cell 700 is large, and the battery cell 700 is easily damaged when contacting the third blocking member 331 or the first blocking member 141.

[0154] Therefore, in this embodiment, by configuring the speed detection element 350 , it is possible to detect whether the speed of the battery cells 700 on the second conveying assembly 310 is too fast, thereby selectively controlling the conveying speed of the second conveying assembly 310 .

[0155] In some examples, optionally, the feeding device 300 further includes a pressure detection member 360 , which is mounted on the second conveying assembly 310 and is located below the third blocking assembly 330 , and is used to detect the pressure of the area of ​​the second conveying assembly 310 facing the third blocking assembly 330 .

[0156] The pressure detection member 360 is also fixedly mounted on the second conveying assembly 310 , for example, mounted below the conveyor belt of the second conveying assembly 310 , to detect the pressure applied by the battery cells 700 on the conveyor belt above it.

[0157] The pressure detection element 360 can be any type of pressure sensor, such as a piezoelectric pressure sensor, a resistive pressure sensor, a capacitive pressure sensor, etc., which are not listed one by one in this embodiment.

[0158] By configuring the pressure detection member 360 , it is possible to know whether there is a battery cell 700 under the third blocking assembly 330 , so as to determine whether the third assembly successfully blocks the conveyance of the battery cell 700 .

[0159] In some examples, optionally, a second discharge detection member 370 is installed on the second discharge end 3112 , and the second discharge detection member 370 is used to detect whether the battery cell 700 reaches the second discharge end 3112 .

[0160] The second discharge detection member 370 is installed above or below the second discharge end 3112, for example, directly fixedly installed at the discharge end.

[0161] The second material discharging detection member 370 may have the same or similar structure as the aforementioned first material discharging detection member 190 and the first material feeding detection member 180 . For example, the second material discharging detection member 370 may be a laser sensor, an infrared sensor, a photoelectric sensor, a proximity switch or the like.

[0162] By configuring the second discharge detection member 370 at the discharge end of the second conveying assembly 310, it is possible to determine whether the battery cell 700 has reached the second discharge end 3112, thereby providing a feasible basis for the receiving of the material by the rotating receiving device.

[0163] Combined with the attachment again Figure 6 As shown, in some examples, optionally, along the conveying direction of the second conveying assembly 310, the distance from the speed detection member 350 to the pressure detection member 360 is set to be smaller than the size of the battery cell 700, and / or the distance from the pressure detection member 360 to the second discharge detection member 370 is set to be smaller than the size of the battery cell 700.

[0164] Along the conveying direction of the second conveying assembly 310, the size of the battery cell 700 is a, and the distance from the speed detection component 350 to the pressure detection component 360 is b. When a is greater than b, when the battery cell 700 is blocked by the third blocking component 331, speed detection can still be performed by the speed detection component 350 and pressure detection can still be performed by the pressure detection component 360, thereby reducing the detection blind area.

[0165] The distance from the pressure detection member 360 to the second discharge detection member 370 is c. When a is greater than c, during the transportation of the battery cell 700, pressure detection can be performed by the pressure detection member 360 and discharge detection can be performed by the second discharge detection member 370 at the same time, which also plays a role in reducing the detection blind area.

[0166] Combined with the attachment again Figure 1 and attached Figure 5 As shown, in some examples, optionally, the battery rotating conveying equipment 1000 also includes a second protective device 400, and the second protective device 400 is covered outside the feeding device 300; the second protective device 400 includes a second frame 410 and a second shell 420 connected to the second frame 410, and a second in-place detection member 430 is installed on the second frame 410. When the second shell 420 is installed on the second frame 410, the second in-place detection member 430 is in a third state, and when the second shell 420 is detached from the second frame 410, the second in-place detection member 430 is in a fourth state, the third state is one of open and closed, and the fourth state is the other of open and closed.

[0167] The second in-place detection member 430 has the same or similar structure to the aforementioned first in-place detection member 230 , and may be, for example, a micro switch, a proximity switch, or a sensor structure, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0168] The second protection device 400 is similar in structure to the aforementioned first protection device 200 , but the number of side panels can be reduced accordingly.

[0169] In some embodiments, the second protective device 400 includes a second frame 410 and a second shell 420. The second shell 420 may include a second top plate 421 and two second side plates 422. The second top plate 421 and the second side plates 422 may be connected to form an integral structure, or the second top plate 421 and the second side plates 422 may be a split structure that is not directly connected.

[0170] The two second side plates 422 are relatively arranged on both sides of the second frame 410 in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveying assembly 310 to form two openings for facilitating the entry and exit of the battery cells 700 .

[0171] When the second top plate 421 and the second side plate 422 are not directly connected and each second side plate 422 is also an independent structure, the second in-place detection member 430 can be designed to be multiple, one second in-place detection member 430 is used to detect whether the second top plate 421 is installed to the second frame 410, and the remaining multiple second in-place detection members 430 correspond one-to-one with the multiple second side plates 422 to detect whether the second side plates 422 are installed to the second frame 410.

[0172] A second in-place detection member 430 is installed on the second frame 410. When the second shell 420 is installed, the second in-place detection member 430 is in the third state. After the second shell 420 is removed, the second in-place detection member 430 is in the fourth state. By obtaining the state of the second in-place detection member 430, it can be determined whether the feeding device 300 is protected by the second protective device 400. When it is determined that there is no protection from the second protective device 400, the feeding device 300 can be stopped, thereby reducing safety risks.

[0173] Combined with Figure 1 and attached Figure 7 As shown, in some examples, optionally, the battery rotating conveying equipment 1000 also includes a discharge device 500 and a third protection device 600, the third protection device 600 is covered outside the discharge device 500, the third protection device 600 includes a third frame 610 and a third shell 620 connected to the third frame 610, a third in-place detection member 630 is installed on the third frame 610, when the third shell 620 is installed on the third frame 610, the third in-place detection member 630 is in a fifth state, when the third shell 620 is detached from the third frame 610, the third in-place detection member 630 is in a sixth state, the fifth state is one of open and closed, and the sixth state is the other of open and closed.

[0174] The discharging device 500 includes a third base frame 520 and a third conveying assembly 510 installed on the third base frame 520.
