Detailed implementation manner

[0028] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings form a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to explain the principles of the present invention, rather than to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0029] As Figures 1-5 shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a battery module milling and transporting mechanism, which includes: a transportation line 1, a tray lifting assembly 2, a milling table 3, and a docking assembly 4. The transportation line 1 transports a battery tray loaded with a battery module. The tray lifting assembly 2 is arranged on the transportation line 1 and has a lifting state capable of lifting the battery tray and a lowering state capable of lowering the battery tray to the transportation line 1. The milling table 3 is arranged on one side of the transportation line 1 and has a milling table surface for milling the battery module. The docking assembly 4 is arranged on the milling table 3 and has a docking end capable of lifting and telescoping relative to the milling table 3. The docking end can be docked with the tray lifting assembly 2 in the lifting state to transport the battery tray loaded with the battery module to the milling table surface.

[0030] The battery module milling and transporting mechanism proposed by the present invention includes a transportation line 1, a tray lifting assembly 2, a milling table 3, and a docking assembly 4. The transportation line 1 transports a battery tray loaded with a battery module. The tray lifting assembly 2 is arranged on the transportation line 1 and has a lifting state capable of lifting the battery tray and a lowering state capable of lowering the battery tray to the transportation line 1. The milling table 3 is arranged on one side of the transportation line 1 and has a milling table surface for milling the battery module. The docking assembly 4 is arranged on the milling table 3 and has a docking end capable of lifting and telescoping relative to the milling table 3. The docking end can be docked with the tray lifting assembly 2 in the lifting state to transport the battery tray loaded with the battery module to the milling table surface. Through the cooperation of the tray lifting assembly 2 and the docking assembly 4, the battery tray can be quickly transferred from the transportation line 1 to the milling table 3 for operation, improving the operation efficiency.

[0031] Specifically, the transportation line 1 includes a pair of relatively spaced-apart transportation frames 11 and a pair of belt transportation members 12. The pair of belt transportation members 12 are disposed opposite to each other on the pair of transportation frames 11. The belt transportation member 12 includes a belt, a roller, and a rotating motor. The roller is rotatably disposed on the transportation frame 11. The belt is sleeved on the roller. The rotating motor is connected to the roller and is used to drive the roller to rotate relative to the transportation frame 11, thereby driving the belt to perform a rotary motion. The purpose of such a setting is to leave a gap for the lifting of the carrier plate lifting assembly 2 between the transportation lines 1.

[0032] Specifically, the carrier plate lifting assembly 2 includes a carrier plate lifting member 21 and a lifting plate 22. The carrier plate lifting member 21 is fixed between the pair of transportation frames 11. The carrier plate lifting member 21 has a liftable movable end. The lifting plate 22 is disposed in the horizontal direction and is fixed to the movable end of the carrier plate lifting member 21. The movable end of the carrier plate lifting member 21 can push the lifting plate 22 to lift relative to the transportation frame 11. When the movable end of the carrier plate lifting member 21 extends to the maximum state, the lifting plate 22 is higher than the transportation frame 11; when the movable end of the carrier plate lifting member 21 contracts to the minimum state, the lifting plate 22 is lower than the transportation frame 11.

[0033] Furthermore, the carrier plate lifting assembly 2 further includes a pair of auxiliary translation members 23. The pair of auxiliary translation members 23 are fixedly disposed opposite to each other on the lifting plate 22. The transportation direction of the auxiliary translation members 23 faces the milling table 3 and is used to assist the battery carrier plate to adjust its posture relative to the milling table 3.

[0034] Furthermore, the auxiliary translation member 23 includes a translation belt, an auxiliary roller, and an auxiliary motor. The auxiliary roller is rotatably disposed on the lifting plate 22. The translation belt is sleeved on the auxiliary roller. The auxiliary motor is connected to the auxiliary roller and is used to drive the auxiliary roller to rotate relative to the lifting plate 22, thereby driving the translation belt to perform a rotary motion. The pair of auxiliary translation members 23 can adopt different moving speeds to adjust the posture of the battery carrier plate, facilitating docking with the docking assembly 4.

[0035] In this embodiment, the carrier plate lifting member 21 includes a lifting oil cylinder. The lifting oil cylinder is fixed between the pair of transportation frames 11. The movable end of the lifting oil cylinder is fixed to the lifting plate 22.

[0036] Specifically, the milling table 3 includes a bearing box body 31 and side plates 32. A moving hole 33 is formed in the upper surface of the bearing box body 31. The side plates 32 are vertically fixed on one side of the bearing box body 31 and are perpendicular to the moving hole 33. The docking assembly 4 is movably arranged in the moving hole 33 and has a docking end that can lift and extend relative to the milling table 3. The docking end can dock with the carrier plate lifting assembly 2 in the lifting state to transport the battery carrier plate carrying the battery module to the milling table surface.

[0037] Furthermore, a number of movable limiting components 34 are also provided on the top of the bearing box body 31. The movable limiting components 34 have a limiting state of pressing against the battery carrier plate to limit the relative movement of the battery carrier plate with respect to the bearing box body 31 and a non-limiting state of disengaging from the battery carrier plate to allow the relative movement of the battery carrier plate with respect to the bearing box body 31. When the battery carrier plate is transported to the top of the bearing box body 31, the movable limiting components 34 switch to the limiting state to fix the battery carrier plate. When the milling is completed, the movable limiting components 34 switch to the non-limiting state to facilitate the transportation of the battery carrier plate to the transportation line.

[0038] Furthermore, the movable limiting components 34 include a lifting cylinder 341, a rotating cylinder 342, and a pressing plate 343. The lifting cylinder 341 is vertically fixed on the upper surface of the bearing box body 31. The rotating cylinder 342 is fixed to the movable end of the lifting cylinder 341. The rotating end of the rotating cylinder 342 is fixed to the pressing plate 343 to drive the pressing plate 343 to rotate relative to the bearing box body 31. When the movable end of the lifting cylinder 341 extends to the maximum state and the rotating cylinder 342 drives the pressing plate 343 to rotate to an angle that does not interfere with the battery carrier plate, the movable limiting components 34 switch to the non-limiting state. When the movable end of the lifting cylinder 341 contracts to the minimum state and the rotating cylinder 342 drives the pressing plate 343 to rotate to an interfering angle with the battery carrier plate, the movable limiting components 34 switch to the limiting state.

[0039] Specifically, the docking component 4 includes a supporting rod group 41, a lifting member 42, and a translation member 43. The supporting rod group 41 is movably arranged in the moving hole 33. The lifting member 42 is arranged in the milling table 3. The lifting end of the lifting member 42 is connected to the supporting rod group 41 and can drive the supporting rod group 41 to lift relative to the milling table 3, so that the supporting rod group 41 has a jacking state higher than the milling table 3 and a lowered state completely received in the moving hole 33. The translation member 43 is arranged in the milling table 3. The moving end of the lifting member 42 is connected to the supporting rod group 41 and can drive the supporting rod group 41 to move relative to the milling table 3, so that the supporting rod group 41 has at least a protruding state protruding from the side of the milling table 3 and a non-protruding state not protruding from the side of the milling table 3.

[0040] Further, the supporting rod group 41 includes a pair of moving supporting rods 411. The moving supporting rods 411 are embedded in the moving hole 33 and are connected to the lifting member 42 and the translation member 43. Two spaced bumps 412 are provided on the moving supporting rods 411. The distance between the two bumps 412 matches the width of the battery carrier. The opposite sides and the back sides of the two bumps 412 are all contact surfaces with the battery carrier.

[0041] Further, an anti-collision rubber sheet is attached to the bump 412.

[0042] Further, a hinged door 321 is opened on the side plate 32. The bump 412 close to the hinged door 321 can contact the battery carrier and push the battery carrier through the hinged door 321. When an accident occurs during the milling of the battery module, the translation member 43 drives the moving supporting rod 411 to translate, and the lifting member 42 drives the moving supporting rod 411 to rise. The side of the bump 412 close to the hinged door 321 contacts the battery carrier and pushes the battery carrier through the hinged door 321, facilitating subsequent fire extinguishing treatment and ensuring production safety.

[0043] Further, the lifting member 42 includes a lifting cylinder. The lifting cylinder is vertically fixed in the bearing box 31. The movable end of the lifting cylinder is fixed to the translation member 43 and is used to drive the translation member 43 and the supporting rod group 41 to lift.

[0044] Further, the translation member 43 includes a translation carrier 431, a translation track 432, and a translation slider 433. The translation carrier 431 is horizontally fixed to the movable end of the lifting cylinder. The translation track 432 is fixed on the translation carrier 431 and is parallel to the moving hole 33. The translation slider 433 is slidably connected to the translation track 432 and is fixed to the support rod group 41. The translation slider 433 can slide relative to the translation track 432 to drive the support rod group 41 to move along the moving hole 33.

[0045] Further, it further includes a safety water tank 5, and the safety water tank 5 is arranged on the side of the bearing box body 31 where the side plate 32 is fixed. When an accident occurs during the milling of the battery module, the translation member 43 drives the moving support rod 411 to translate, and the lifting member 42 drives the moving support rod 411 to rise. The side of the convex block 412 close to the hinge door 321 contacts the battery carrier, and pushes the battery carrier through the hinge door 321 and into the safety water tank 5, which can quickly extinguish the fire and ensure production safety.

[0046] During use, the transportation line 1 transports the battery carrier loaded with the battery module to be processed to the corresponding position of the milling table 3. The movable end of the carrier lifting member 21 extends to the maximum state, and the lifting plate 22 lifts the battery carrier off the transportation line 1. The translation member 43 drives the support rod group 41 to extend below the battery carrier. The lifting member 42 drives the support rod group 41 to rise, lifting the battery carrier and clamping it between the two convex blocks 412. Then the translation member 43 drives the support rod group 41 to retract, and the lifting member 42 drives the support rod group 41 to descend, placing the battery carrier on the milling table 3, and milling can begin. After milling is completed, the lifting member 3 drives the support rod group 41 to rise, lifting the battery carrier and clamping it between the two convex blocks 412. The translation member 4 then drives the support rod group 41 to extend, so that the battery carrier is located on the lifting plate 22. The lifting member 3 drives the support rod group 41 to descend, placing the battery carrier on the lifting plate 22. The translation member 4 then drives the support rod group 41 to retract, and the battery milling is completed. If a fire breaks out during the milling process, the translation member 4 drives the support rod group 41 to extend, and the lifting member 3 drives the support rod group 41 to rise. The side of the convex block 412 close to the hinge door 131 contacts the battery carrier. The translation member 4 drives the support rod group 41 to retract, and the convex block 412 pushes the battery carrier through the hinge door 131 and into the safety water tank 5, which can quickly extinguish the fire and ensure production safety.
