Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of AGV carriers, and particularly to a battery PACK posture adjustment and clustering device and an AGV carrier. Background Art

[0002] Currently, with the popularization of electric vehicles and renewable energy systems, the demand for energy storage systems is increasing day by day. As the core component of the energy storage system, the process of the battery PACK entering the clustering energy storage container is crucial for improving the overall performance of the energy storage system. Traditionally, manual clustering is used, resulting in problems such as improper posture adjustment and inaccurate docking of the battery PACK, leading to damage to the battery PACK or failure of clustering, thus unable to meet the requirements of high efficiency and precision of modern energy storage systems.

[0003] Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the battery PACK clustering, automated equipment has begun to be applied to the energy storage system. For example, Chinese Patent No. CN 117464344 A discloses an energy storage container assembly device. When in use, the battery cluster is transported to the propulsion mechanism near the energy storage container through the transport mechanism. At this time, the second round roller on the propulsion mechanism does not work first. The horizontal movement component on the position adjustment mechanism drives the battery cluster and the propulsion mechanism to move horizontally synchronously. The lifting component on the position adjustment mechanism drives the battery cluster and the propulsion mechanism to move up and down synchronously to the insertion box opening. Then the propulsion mechanism is activated. At this time, the second round roller rotates to push the battery cluster into the insertion box. The horizontal movement component and the lifting component are accurately positioned and can perform precise position adjustment on the battery cluster to ensure that the battery cluster can be accurately inserted into the energy storage container.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned energy storage container assembly device only performs translational adjustment on the battery PACK entering the clustering energy storage container in the horizontal and vertical directions. When the battery PACK is placed unevenly during clustering, the energy storage container assembly device cannot adjust the angle of the battery PACK, resulting in failure of the battery PACK to cluster.

The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0031] To better understand the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present disclosure, the following further describes the present disclosure in detail with specific embodiments:

[0032] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the battery PACK posture adjustment and clustering device 10 of an embodiment includes a running vehicle body 100, a moving frame 200, a pushing mechanism 300, a posture adjustment mechanism 400, and a lifting assembly 600. The moving frame 200 is slidably disposed on the running vehicle body 100. The pushing mechanism 300 is movably disposed on the moving frame 200. The moving frame 200 is provided with a sliding chamber 200a. The pushing mechanism 300 includes a clustering platform 310, a push rod 320, and a pushing top plate 330. The clustering platform 310 is movably disposed in the sliding chamber 200a for carrying the battery PACK, and the clustering platform 310 is provided with a receiving groove 310a. The push rod 320 is disposed in the receiving groove 310a. The pushing top plate 330 is movably disposed in the sliding groove 321 of the push rod 320 for pushing the battery PACK into the energy storage container. One end of the lifting assembly 600 is connected to the moving frame 200, and the other end of the lifting assembly 600 is connected to the clustering platform 310 to enable the clustering platform 310 to move in the sliding chamber 200a. The posture adjustment mechanism 400 includes a driving member (not shown in the figure), a posture adjustment rotating member 410, and a rotating bracket 420. The rotating bracket 420 is disposed on the clustering platform 310. The output end of the driving member is connected to the input end of the posture adjustment rotating member 410, and the rotating end of the posture adjustment rotating member 410 is connected to the rotating bracket 420. The posture adjustment rotating member 410 is also connected to the lifting assembly 600 for driving the clustering platform 310 to adjust the angle.

[0033] It can be understood that since the clustering platform 310 is movably disposed in the sliding chamber 200a of the moving frame 200, when the clustering platform 310 carries the battery PACK, it can move up and down in the moving frame 200 through the lifting assembly 600 to ensure that the battery PACK is placed in the energy storage containers at different heights. Since the push rod 320 is disposed in the receiving cavity of the clustering platform 310, when the battery PACK is placed on the clustering platform 310, the pushing top plate 330 can push the battery PACK into the energy storage container along the sliding groove 321 of the push rod 320. Also, since the rotating bracket 420 is disposed on the clustering platform 310 and the rotating end of the posture adjustment rotating member 410 is connected to the rotating bracket 420, the posture adjustment rotating member 410 can drive the rotating bracket 420 to drive the clustering platform 310 to rotate under the action of the driving member, so as to realize the adjustable angle of the clustering platform 310, and further ensure the efficiency of the battery PACK clustering into the energy storage container.

[0034] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, in one embodiment, the posture adjustment rotating member 410 includes a mounting frame body 411, a connecting rod 412, a worm 413 and a driven gear 414. The mounting frame body 411 is arranged on the lifting assembly 600, and the driven gear 414 is rotatably arranged in the mounting frame body 411; one end of the connecting rod 412 is connected to the rotating bracket 420, and the other end of the connecting rod 412 is connected to the driven gear 414 through the rotating hole of the mounting frame body 411; one end of the worm 413 meshes with the driven gear 414, and the other end of the worm 413 is connected to the driving member. In this embodiment, since the mounting frame body 411 is arranged on the lifting assembly 600, the mounting frame body 411 moves up and down on the sliding chamber 200a along with the lifting assembly 600, and the mounting bracket is used to fix the worm 413 and the driven gear 414. Since one end of the worm 413 meshes with the driven gear 414 and the other end of the worm 413 is connected to the driving member, it is ensured that the driving member can drive the worm 413 to rotate, thereby driving the driven gear 414 to rotate, ensuring the angle adjustment of the rotating bracket 420 driving the clustering platform 310, and thus improving the efficiency of the battery PACK entering the clustering energy storage container.

[0035] In one embodiment, the driving member is a servo motor, and the servo motor ensures the normal operation of the posture adjustment rotating member 410.

[0036] As Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the battery PACK posture adjustment and clustering device 10 further includes a pressure sensor 500. The pressure sensor 500 is arranged on the pushing top plate 330 and is used to measure the resistance of pushing the battery PACK. In this embodiment, when the pushing top plate 330 pushes the battery PACK into the energy storage container, due to the uneven placement of the battery PACK, the pushing top plate 330 is subject to resistance during the pushing process, resulting in the inability of the pushing top plate 330 to perform normal pushing. The added pressure sensor 500 can monitor the change of the resistance of pushing the battery PACK in real time, thereby timely adjusting the angle of the clustering platform 310, and further improving the clustering efficiency of the battery PACK.

[0037] In one embodiment, the lifting assembly 600 includes a guide seat 610 and a guide post 620. The guide post 620 is arranged in the moving frame 200, the guide seat 610 is sleeved on the guide post 620, and the mounting frame body 411 is arranged on the guide seat 610 so that the mounting frame body 411 moves along the guide post 620. It can be understood that by setting the guide post 620, the stability of the guide seat 610 driving the mounting frame body 411 to lift is ensured, and it is ensured that the mounting frame body 411 moves along the direction of the guide post 620, thereby ensuring the reliability of the lifting of the mounting frame body 411. In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 600 further includes a chain and a fixed pulley. The fixed pulley is arranged on the moving frame 200, and the chain is connected to the guide seat 610 through the fixed pulley.

[0038] As Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, in one embodiment, the battery PACK attitude adjustment and clustering device 10 further includes a sliding roller 800. The sliding roller 800 is arranged on the clustering platform 310 and is used to facilitate the propulsion of the battery PACK. In this embodiment, by setting the sliding roller 800, the resistance of the battery PACK when propelling on the clustering platform 310 is reduced, which can ensure the smoothness of the battery PACK propelling into the energy storage container, thereby improving the efficiency of the battery PACK clustering.

[0039] In one embodiment, the battery PACK attitude adjustment and clustering device 10 further includes a sliding guide rail 700. The two ends of the sliding guide rail 700 are respectively connected to the two side walls of the clustering platform 310. The pushing top plate 330 is provided with a guiding hole 331 corresponding to the sliding guide rail 700, and the guiding hole 331 is sleeved on the sliding guide rail 700. It can be understood that the sliding guide rail 700 cooperates with the guiding hole 331 on the pushing top plate 330 to provide accurate guidance for the movement of the pushing top plate 330, ensuring that the pushing top plate 330 can move along a predetermined trajectory when pushing the battery PACK, improving the accuracy of the battery PACK clustering position, and thus improving the clustering efficiency of the battery PACK. In this embodiment, there are two sliding guide rails 700.

[0040] As Figure 1 shown, in one embodiment, the battery PACK attitude adjustment and clustering device 10 further includes a traveling wheel 900. The traveling wheel 900 is arranged at the bottom of the moving frame 200, and the running vehicle body 100 forms a rail groove 110. The traveling wheel 900 slides in the rail groove 110 to enable the moving frame 200 to move in the rail groove 110. In this embodiment, since the traveling wheel 900 of the moving frame 200 slides in the rail groove 110 of the running vehicle body 100, the moving frame 200 moves along the rail groove 110, ensuring that the moving frame 200 can slide close to the opening of the energy storage container, guaranteeing the accuracy of the battery PACK attitude adjustment and clustering position. At the same time, the sliding resistance of the traveling wheel 900 in the rail groove 110 is small, enabling the moving frame 200 to move more easily, thereby improving the clustering efficiency of the battery PACK.

[0041] As Figure 2 shown, in one embodiment, the battery PACK attitude adjustment and clustering device 10 further includes a steering wheel 910. The steering wheel 910 is movably arranged at the bottom of the running vehicle body 100, enabling the running vehicle body 100 to move omnidirectionally. On the one hand, it ensures that the running vehicle body 100 transfers the battery PACK, and on the other hand, it ensures that the running vehicle body 100 drives the moving frame 200 to align with the energy storage container, guaranteeing the accuracy of pushing the battery PACK into the energy storage container, thereby improving the clustering efficiency of the battery PACK.

[0042] The present disclosure also provides a transport AGV, including the battery PACK posture adjustment and clustering device 10 described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0044] In the battery PACK posture adjustment and clustering device 10 of the present disclosure, since the clustering platform 310 is movably arranged in the sliding chamber 200a of the moving frame 200, when the clustering platform 310 carries the battery PACK, it can move up and down in the moving frame 200 through the lifting assembly 600 to ensure that the battery PACK is placed in energy storage containers at different heights; since the push rod 320 is arranged in the accommodating cavity of the clustering platform 310, when the battery PACK is placed on the clustering platform 310, the pushing top plate 330 can push the battery PACK into the energy storage container along the sliding groove 321 of the push rod 320; and since the rotating bracket 420 is arranged on the clustering platform 310 and the rotating end of the posture adjustment rotating member 410 is connected to the rotating bracket 420, the posture adjustment rotating member 410 can drive the rotating bracket 420 to drive the clustering platform 310 to rotate under the action of the driving member, so as to realize the adjustable angle of the clustering platform 310, and further ensure the efficiency of the battery PACK clustering into the energy storage container.

[0045] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present disclosure, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present disclosure, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
