Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of battery core processing equipment, and in particular relates to battery core incoming material stacking and destacking equipment and a battery core conveying line. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive energy and electric vehicle industries, lithium batteries are being used more and more widely in new energy vehicles, and the market demand for battery assembly and processing equipment is growing.

[0003] At present, in the existing battery assembly and processing production lines, the battery cells need to be packaged with pallets, foam and other materials before use to ensure that they are not damaged during transportation and storage. It is generally necessary to set up stacking equipment and destacking equipment at the corresponding positions on the battery cell transportation line to stack and destacker the pallets containing the battery cells. For example, Chinese patent CN116443594A once provided a destacking device for battery cell packaging to realize the destacking and stacking of packaging on the battery cell incoming materials, that is, to realize the destacking and stacking of the foam and stacking bottom plate (pallet) on the battery cell incoming materials.

[0004] However, the existing battery cell material stacking and destacking equipment still has certain defects in actual application: when a forklift transports multiple layers of battery cell materials to the battery cell stacking production line at one time, since the existing battery cell material stacking and destacking equipment generally does not have the structure and function of temporary material storage, it generally places the multiple layers of battery cell materials on the storage rack first, and then uses the battery cell material stacking and destacking equipment to transfer the battery cell materials layer by layer from the storage rack to the conveyor line to achieve the corresponding destacking process; therefore, the existing battery cell material stacking and destacking equipment is not only complex in structure during actual application, but also often occupies a large operating space.

[0005] The technical problem solved by the utility model is to provide a battery cell incoming material stacking and destacking device and a battery cell conveyor line which can destacking and stack multi-layer battery cell incoming materials without taking up too much space, so as to overcome the troubles faced by the existing battery cell incoming material stacking and destacking device when multi-layer battery cell incoming materials are present.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, on the one hand, the utility model provides a battery cell incoming material stacking and destacking device, which includes a frame, the frame can be arranged across the material conveying line, the front side of the frame is provided with an incoming material entry channel, the rear side of the frame is provided with an incoming material exit channel and an incoming material detection sensor, the left and right sides of the frame are provided with a lifting mechanism, the power output end of the lifting mechanism is installed with a plug-in mechanism, and the power output end of the plug-in mechanism located on the left side of the frame and the power output end of the plug-in mechanism located on the right side of the frame can be close to or away from each other. Compared with the existing battery cell incoming material stacking and destacking device, when the utility model is applied to the battery cell stacking production line, it can directly place the battery cell multi-layer incoming material on the material conveying line by a forklift, and directly destacking or stacking the battery cell multi-layer incoming material by the battery cell incoming material stacking and destacking device provided by the utility model, without the need to use additional auxiliary equipment such as storage racks, thereby solving the problems faced by the existing battery cell incoming material stacking and destacking device when the battery cell multi-layer incoming material is large in space and complex in structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting electric cylinder, the cylinder body of the lifting electric cylinder is installed together with the frame, the push rod of the lifting electric cylinder is installed together with the corresponding plug-in mechanism, and the corresponding plug-in mechanism is driven to perform an ascending or descending action by extending or retracting the push rod in the lifting electric cylinder, so as to drive the material clamped between the plug-in mechanisms on both sides to perform a corresponding ascending or descending action.

[0008] Furthermore, the plug-in mechanism includes a connecting frame, one side of which is connected to the push rod of the lifting electric cylinder, and the other side of which is slidably connected to an auxiliary frame via a linear guide; one end of the auxiliary frame is transmission-connected to a telescopic cylinder, and the other end of the auxiliary frame is provided with at least one battery pallet plug-in plate. At this time, the utility model can drive the auxiliary frame and the battery pallet plug-in plate to move in the corresponding direction by extending or retracting the piston rod in the telescopic cylinder, so as to be inserted into the corresponding hole groove on the side of the pallet, or into the gap between two adjacent pallets, or into the gap between the pallet and the material conveying line.

[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the connecting frame are vertically slidably connected to the frame via linear guide rails to ensure the stability of the connecting frame.

[0010] Furthermore, a safety grating is arranged on the front side and / or the rear side of the frame.

[0011] Furthermore, a safety warning light is provided on the upper part of the frame, and the safety warning light preferably adopts a three-color light.

[0012] Furthermore, the incoming material detection sensor is a beam switch, and the beam switch is used to determine whether the incoming material has moved to the corresponding position, thereby improving the destacking accuracy and stacking accuracy of the battery cell incoming material stacking and destacking equipment, and improving the stability of the stacked board.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the frame is provided with feet, and the frame is installed on the frame of the material conveying line or on the floor of the workshop through the feet.

[0014] On the other hand, the utility model also provides a battery cell conveying line, which includes a material conveying line, and two of the above-mentioned battery cell incoming material stacking and destacking devices are arranged above the material conveying line along the material conveying direction, and the material conveying line is provided with a blocking plate on the rear side of each battery cell incoming material stacking and destacking device, and the blocking plate is connected to a linear drive mechanism in transmission, and the blocking plate can block the incoming material conveyed on the material conveying line under the action of the linear drive mechanism. In this way, in addition to positioning the incoming material through the incoming material detection sensor, the utility model can also position it through the blocking plate, thereby further ensuring that the stopping position of the incoming material can correspond to the placement position of the battery cell incoming material stacking and destacking device.
