Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic handling and conveying of batteries, in particular to a battery variable-distance conveying device. Background Art

[0002] For variable-distance transportation of batteries, the general solution in the industry is to use a cylinder with a limiter to change the distance, and cooperate with a module robot for handling. The disadvantages of this solution are: when multiple batteries change distance, the force is gradually transmitted by the limiter and related parts, and uneven force will cause the distance to be not in place or stuck; when changing models, the replacement or adjustment of each limiter is complicated and inconvenient for maintenance; after the distance is changed, the module robot needs to cooperate with the grasping, which takes up a lot of space and is costly.

[0024] The guide bar of the present application is located above the roller, and the direction of the guide bar is the same as the movement direction of the roller to transport the battery. Therefore, the battery can be guided by the guide bars on both sides, so that the battery can move between the guide bars on both sides, and then the roller is lowered to make the battery fall onto the battery placement block, and the distance between the batteries is adjusted by the variable distance module.

By setting the guide bars, the batteries moving on the conveying module 2 can be guided and guided to the top of the battery placement block 113 to facilitate distance adjustment.

[0044] In this embodiment, the conveying module 2 includes a conveying roller group located on the guide rail mounting plate 13, and the battery placement block 113 is located between adjacent rollers in the conveying roller group.

[0046] The conveying module 2 includes a first roller mounting plate 21 and a second roller mounting plate 22. The active roller 24 and the driven roller 23 are both rotatably connected between the first roller mounting plate 21 and the second roller mounting plate 22.

The conveying module 2 is driven to move up and down above the variable pitch module 1 through the lifting cylinder 34, and then the battery can be appropriately moved on the conveying module 2 and the variable pitch module 1. When the pitch needs to be changed, the conveying module 2 descends and the battery is located on the variable pitch module 1, and then the pitch can be changed through the variable pitch module. After the pitch change is completed, the conveying module 2 rises, lifts the battery and separates it from the variable pitch module, and then the battery can be transported through the conveying module.

[0048] When the utility model is in use, taking battery loading as an example, when the manipulator clamps a number of batteries and puts them into the device, the lifting cylinder 34 extends, the lifting module 3 is in a descending state, the position state of the mobile unit 11 of the variable pitch module 1 corresponds to the spacing of the manipulator's grippers, and the battery cells are placed on the battery placement block 113; when the battery is placed, the variable pitch cylinder 17 extends, driving the guide plate 14 to move along the second guide rail 16, and the guide groove on the guide plate 14 pushes the roller 118 on the mobile unit 11 to move along the guide groove 19. At this time, the mobile unit 11 is in the first guide rail. Movement occurs on the rail 12, and the pitch-changing module 1 completes the pitch change. The distance is controlled by the shape of the guide groove. The position state of the moving unit 11 of the pitch-changing module 1 corresponds to the channel spacing of the rear-end docking conveyor line; when the device completes the pitch change, the lifting cylinder 34 contracts, and the lifting module 3 drives the conveying module 2 to rise. The contact at the bottom of the battery is changed from the battery placement block 113 to the driven roller 23 or the active roller 24; after the rising action is completed, the motor 28 is started, and the roller rotates, driving the battery to be transported to the rear end along the first guide bar 116a and the second guide bar 116b to complete the loading.
