[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to the material conveying equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application, it includes a support frame 100, a first fixture 200 and a second fixture 300. The first fixture 200 and the second fixture 300 are installed on the support frame 100. The first fixture 200 and the second fixture 300 are used to receive the material 900. The material conveying equipment forms a conveying line for the material 900 through the first fixture 200 and the second fixture 300.

[0033] Specifically, in some embodiments, a plurality of first jigs 200 are arranged at intervals along the conveying route of the material 900, and the material conveying equipment further includes a first driver 410, which is connected to the first jig 200 and can drive the first jig 200 to reciprocate in the receiving direction of the material, and the second jig 300 is arranged between adjacent first jigs 200, and the second driver 420 is connected to the second jig 300, and the second driver 420 is used to drive the second jig 300 to reciprocate along the conveying route of the material 900, so that the second jig 300 receives the material from the upstream first jig 200 and conveys it to the downstream first jig 200.

[0034] It is understandable that in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment, the conveyor line conveys the material 900 in a straight line direction, and the first fixture 200 and the second fixture 300 receive the material 900 in a vertical direction. For ease of description, the conveying direction of the material 900 is defined as a first direction, the X direction, a direction horizontal and perpendicular to the X direction is a third direction, the Y direction, and a vertical direction is a second direction, the Z direction. The material 900 may be a pole piece, a gasket, or other sheet-like product suitable for conveying by a material conveying device.

[0035] In other possible embodiments, depending on the specific design of the conveyor line, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction may also have different orientations, which will not be described in detail here.

[0036] During operation, the Nth first fixture 200 receives material 900 from upstream (when N is 1) or from the N-1th first fixture 200, the first pallet 210 holds the material 900 from the Y direction, the first fixture 200 descends, and transfers the material 900 to the paired Nth second fixture 300, the Nth second fixture 300 moves downstream to the position paired with the N+1th first fixture 200, the first fixture 200 rises, transfers the material 900 of the Nth second fixture 300 to the N+1th first fixture 200, and then returns to the position paired with the Nth first fixture 200, waiting to receive new material 900.

[0037] By using the first fixture 200 and the second fixture 300 to construct a conveyor line, the conveyance of the material 900 and the return flow of the second fixture 300 can be integrated into one conveyor line without setting up another conveyor line, which helps to reduce the occupied space of the material conveying equipment and save implementation costs.

[0038] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the first fixture 200 can carry and transport the material 900 through the first support plate 210, and the second fixture 300 can carry and transport the material 900 through the second support plate 310. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first fixture 200 can also transport the material 900 through other structures with carrying capabilities such as suction cups, which will not be described in detail here.

[0039] The material conveying device of the present application is described below by way of example based on an embodiment in which the first fixture 200 includes a first pallet 210 and the second fixture 300 includes a second pallet 310. It is understandable that in this embodiment, in order to achieve the transfer of the material 900 between the first fixture 200 and the second fixture 300, the first pallet 210 and the second pallet 310 are staggered with each other when paired, that is, when viewed from the vertical direction, the positions of the first pallet 210 and the second pallet 310 are staggered with each other, and the projections of the two on the horizontal plane do not overlap, so that the lifting and lowering movement of the first pallet 210 in the second direction and the reciprocating movement of the second pallet 310 along the conveying route will not interfere with each other.

[0040] It should be noted that the number of materials 900 that can be carried by the first fixture 200 and the second fixture 300 can be one or more. Optionally, in some embodiments, the first fixture 200 also includes a first mounting frame 220, and the first mounting frame 220 is equipped with multiple first pallets 210.

[0041] Specifically, refer to Figure 1In the embodiment, the first fixture 200 arranges six first load positions in an array along the conveying direction, each first load position is provided with a first support plate 210, and the first fixture 200 can simultaneously carry up to six materials 900. The first mounting frame 220 extends along the first direction, the first support plate 210 is mounted on the first mounting frame 220, and the first support plates 210 are arranged at intervals on the first mounting frame 220 along the first direction.

[0042] In addition, in some embodiments, the second support plate 310 also needs to be staggered with the first mounting frame 220 in the vertical direction to avoid interference between the first mounting frame 220 and the second fixture 300 .

[0043] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment, the first mounting frames 220 are arranged at intervals on both sides of the conveying route of the material 900, each first bearing position is provided with a pair of first pallets 210, the paired first pallets 210 are arranged at intervals in the third direction and are respectively installed on the first mounting frames 220 on both sides. The paired first pallets 210 can better support the material 900 from both ends.

[0044] Correspondingly, refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the second fixture 300 further includes a second mounting frame 320 (here a standard profile is used), and the second mounting frame 320 is mounted with a plurality of second support plates 310 .

[0045] Specifically, the second fixture 300 also includes six second bearing positions arranged at intervals, the positions of the second bearing positions correspond to the positions of the first bearing positions one by one, and each second bearing position is respectively arranged with a second support plate 310. The second mounting frame 320 extends along the conveying direction of the material 900, and the second support plates 310 are arranged at intervals on the second mounting frame 320. Optionally, in the Y direction, the second mounting frame 320 is located within the range of the second support plate 310 to prevent the second mounting frame 320 from interfering with the first fixture 200.

[0046] It is understandable that, in addition to Figure 1 In the embodiment of the arrangement at intervals in the conveying direction shown, the first fixture 200 and the second fixture 300 can also be arranged at intervals in the Y direction or arranged at intervals in both the X direction and the Y direction. The relevant layout can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs and will not be repeated here.

[0047] Optionally, the first fixtures 200 and the first load-bearing positions are arranged in an equidistant array, and the second fixtures 300 and the second load-bearing positions are arranged in an equidistant array, so as to reduce the positioning links in the conveying process, simplify the structure of the material conveying equipment, and improve the conveying efficiency.

[0048] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the support frame 100 includes a side plate 110 (in Figure 1 The material conveying equipment further includes a first guide rail 510 and a first slider 520 . The first guide rail 510 is mounted on the side plate 110 . The first guide rail 510 extends along the second direction. The first slider 520 is mounted on the first guide rail 510 . The first fixture 200 is mounted on the first slider 520 .

[0049] In some embodiments, the side plate 110 is arranged on the side (one side or both sides) of the conveying route of the material 900 along the third direction. Installing the first guide rail 510 on the side plate 110 helps to keep the first guide rail 510 and the first slider 520 away from the second fixture 300 to avoid interference.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first driver 410 is also mounted on the side plate 110 , and the output shaft of the first driver 410 faces the vertical direction and is connected to the first fixture 200 .

[0051] The first driver 410 is used to drive the first fixture 200 to move upward and downward. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the first driver 410 can adopt a cylinder and be driven pneumatically, or, in some other embodiments, the first driver 410 can also adopt other driving methods such as cams and connecting rods. In this case, the position and direction of the output shaft of the first driver 410 can be adjusted accordingly as needed, which will not be repeated here.

[0052] Similarly, mounting the first driver 410 on the side plate 110 helps to keep the first driver 410 and related structures away from the second fixture 300 to avoid interference.

[0053] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the support frame includes a base plate 120, the material conveying equipment includes a second guide rail 530 and a second slider 540, the second guide rail 530 is installed on the base plate 120, the second guide rail 530 extends along the first direction, the second slider 540 is installed on the second guide rail 530, and the second fixture 300 is installed on the second slider 540.

[0054] On the one hand, the second guide rail 530 plays a bearing role, preventing the connection between the second driver 420 and the second fixture 300 from being subjected to excessive force and causing problems with movement. On the other hand, the second guide rail 530 plays a guiding role, further improving the reciprocating movement accuracy of the second fixture 300.

[0055] In some embodiments, the material conveying device includes a gear and rack 430 that mesh with each other (in Figure 2The gear is installed on the output shaft of the second driver 420, and the rack 430 is installed on the second fixture 300. The rack 430 extends along the first direction. The second driver 420 drives the rack 430 to move by rotating, thereby realizing the reciprocating motion of the second fixture 300.

[0056] Specifically in Figure 1 In the implementation, combined with Figure 3 The second driver 420 uses a rotary motor. The second driver 420 is also installed on the side plate 110. The main body of the second driver 420 is located on the outside of the side plate 110 to facilitate the disassembly and maintenance of the second driver 420. The output shaft of the second driver 420 passes through the side plate 110 and extends between the two side plates 110, thereby connecting with the rack 430. In order to avoid interference, the teeth of the rack 430 face downward, and the vertical position of the teeth is lower than the lower limit of the first fixture 200 (that is, the position when the first fixture 200 drops to the lowest point), so that the first fixture 200 will not hit the output shaft of the second driver 420 or the rack 430. The transmission method using gears and racks 430 helps to simplify the transmission structure and reduce implementation costs.

[0057] In some other embodiments, the second driver 420 may also adopt other driving methods such as a linear motor, a transmission belt, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0058] It should be noted that, during the process of the material 900 being transferred from the upstream to the material conveying equipment and the material 900 being conveyed along with the second fixture 300 , the position of the material 900 may be offset.

[0059] For this purpose, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first fixture 200 (embodied as the first support plate 210 in this embodiment) includes a first bearing surface 212 and a first positioning portion 211, the first bearing surface 212 is used to receive the material 900, the first positioning portion 211 protrudes from the first bearing surface 212, and the first positioning portion 211 positions the material 900.

[0060] Similarly, in some embodiments, the second fixture 300 (embodied as the second support plate 310 in this embodiment) includes a second bearing surface 312 and a second positioning portion 311, and the second bearing surface 312 is also used to receive the material 900 in the second direction. The second positioning portion 311 protrudes from the second bearing surface 312, and the second positioning portion 311 positions the material 900.

[0061] The positioning directions of the first positioning portion 211 and the second positioning portion 311 may be the same or different. For example, in some embodiments, the first positioning portion 211 positions the material 900 in the third direction, and the second positioning portion 311 positions the material 900 in the first direction.

[0062] In this way, when the upstream robot or other device places the material 900 on the first first fixture 200, the first positioning portion 211 positions the material 900 in the Y direction. Next, when the material 900 is transferred to the second fixture 300, the second positioning portion 311 positions the material in the X direction, thereby adjusting the position of the material 900 and improving the accuracy of the material 900 transportation.

[0063] In addition, the first positioning portion 211 can also be used to position the material 900 in the conveying direction. For example, in some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first positioning portion 211 is integrally formed with the first bearing surface 212, and the first positioning portion 211 protrudes from the edges of the three sides of the first bearing surface 212, thereby forming three positioning edges connected in sequence, and constructing a placement groove with a notch in the direction toward the other first support plate 210. The material 900 is placed in the placement groove, the positioning edge in the middle positions the material 900 from the Y direction, and the other two positioning edges position the material 900 from the X direction.

[0064] Similarly, the second positioning portion 211 can also be manufactured by integral molding. The first positioning portion 211 and the second positioning portion 311 can also use detachable designs such as positioning pins and positioning blocks, which will not be described in detail here.

[0065] Optionally, the first positioning portion 211 is formed with a first guiding slope facing the material 900 , and the second positioning portion 311 is formed with a second guiding slope facing the material 900 , so as to guide the material 900 to be placed in place.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second fixture 300 further includes a magnetic element installed on the second support plate 310 , and the magnetic element is used to absorb and fix the material 900 to prevent the material 900 from being displaced due to inertia during the movement of the second support plate 310 .

[0067] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the material conveying equipment includes a cleaning device 600, which is installed on the support frame 100, and the conveying route of the material 900 passes through the cleaning device 600. The cleaning device 600 cleans the passing material 900, removes the dust carried by the material 900, and prevents the dust from being brought into the downstream process to cause defects (for example, dust enters the pole group with the pole piece to cause a short circuit). The cleaning device 600 and the material conveying equipment are integrated together, and cleaning is performed during the conveying process, which can improve the overall efficiency of the production process.

[0068] Optionally, the cleaning device 600 may perform non-contact dust removal using ultrasonic waves to avoid damage to the surface of the material 900. Ultrasonic dust removal is achieved using an ultrasonic generator, and specifics may refer to the relevant prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
