[0029] In order to further understand the content, features and effects of the utility model, the following embodiments are given as examples and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides a forklift battery assembly line, including: a material transport mechanism 1, a material clamping mechanism 2 and a control management mechanism 3. The material clamping mechanism 2 is arranged on one side of the material transport mechanism 1, and the control management mechanism 3 is arranged on one side of the material transport mechanism 1, and is electrically connected to the material transport mechanism 1 and the material clamping mechanism 2. In specific implementation, the material transport mechanism 1 is used to transport a forklift battery 4, and the material clamping mechanism 2 can clamp the forklift battery 4 and place it on the material transport mechanism 1, so that the material transport mechanism 1 can transport the forklift battery 4, and the control management mechanism 3 can be used to control and manage the material transport mechanism 1 and the material clamping mechanism 2.

[0031] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping mechanism 2 includes a support 21, a rotating assembly 22 and a clamping assembly 23. One end of the rotating assembly 22 is arranged on the support 21, and the clamping assembly 23 is arranged at the other end of the rotating assembly 22. The rotating assembly 22 drives the clamping assembly 23 to rotate and move to the top of the material transporting mechanism 1. Among them, the support 21 can be used to install the rotating assembly 22, and the rotating assembly rotates the clamping assembly 23 to the top of the material transporting mechanism 1. During specific operation, the forklift battery 4 can be clamped. In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 2 is a cantilever crane.

[0032] Specifically, Figure 2As shown, the rotating assembly 22 includes an outer cylinder 221, a rotating motor (not shown in the figure) and a rotating rod (not shown in the figure), the rotating motor is arranged on the support 21, one end of the rotating rod is connected to the rotating motor, and the other end is connected to the clamping assembly 23, the outer cylinder 221 is sleeved on the rotating rod, and one end of the outer cylinder 221 is fixed to the support 21, and the other end is supported at the bottom of the clamping assembly 23, and the clamping assembly 23 can rotate relative to the other end of the outer cylinder 221, so that the rotating motor and the rotating rod are both located in the outer cylinder 221. In specific operation, the rotating rod is driven to rotate by the rotating motor, and the rotation of the rotating rod will drive the outer cylinder to rotate, so that the clamping assembly 23 connected to the outer cylinder 221 can be rotated to the top of the material transport mechanism 1, so that the forklift battery 4 placed on the material transport mechanism 1 can be clamped.

[0033] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping assembly 23 includes a clamping arm 231, a counterweight 232 and a clamping claw 233. The clamping arm 231 is fixed to the other end of the rotating assembly 22, the counterweight 232 is arranged at one end of the clamping arm 231, and the clamping claw 233 is arranged at the other end of the clamping arm 231. The clamping arm 231 is used to install the counterweight 232 and the clamping claw 233. The counterweight 232 can prevent the clamping arm 231 from tipping over due to the excessive weight of the clamped forklift battery 4. The clamping claw 233 is used to clamp the forklift battery 4 during work. In this embodiment, the clamping arm 231 is a mechanical swing arm on a cantilever crane.

[0034] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping arm 231 includes a first arm 2311 and a second arm 2322, wherein the first arm 2311 is fixed to the rotating assembly 22, wherein the counterweight 232 is disposed at one end of the first arm 2311, the other end of the first arm 2311 is rotatably connected to one end of the second arm 2322, and the clamping claw 233 is disposed at the other end of the second arm 2322. Since the first arm 2311 and the second arm 2322 are rotatably connected, when the material transport mechanism transports the forklift battery 4 to the bottom of the clamping arm during specific operation, the first arm 2311 can be rotated and folded to a state perpendicular to the second arm 2322; when the forklift battery 4 to be clamped is placed away from the clamping arm 231, the first arm 2311 can be rotated to a state parallel to the second arm 2322 in the same straight line, thereby increasing the length of the clamping arm 231, so that the forklift battery 4 placed away from the clamping arm 231 can be conveniently clamped.

[0035] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the clamping mechanism 2 further includes a reinforcing rod 24, one end of which is fixed to the clamping arm 231, and the other end of which is fixed to the outer wall of the rotating assembly 22. Since the weight of the forklift battery 4 is relatively large, the clamping arm 231 may be bent downward after long-term use, so the reinforcing rod 24 is used to improve the stability of the clamping arm 231.

[0036] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the material transport mechanism 1 includes two operating platforms 11, a plurality of material dischargers 12 and a plurality of conveying members 13, and the plurality of conveying members 13 are arranged in sequence along a straight line; the plurality of material dischargers 1 are divided into a group of 4, and the number of groups is the same as the number of conveying members 13, and the four material dischargers 12 in each group are arranged around the four corners of a conveying member 13, and the two operating platforms 11 are arranged relative to each other so that a conveying channel 111 is formed between the two, and the plurality of conveying members 13 and the plurality of material dischargers 12 are all located in the conveying channel 111. Among them, the two operating platforms 11 can provide a working area to facilitate the staff to assemble the forklift battery 4, and the conveying channel 111 can arrange the plurality of material dischargers 12, so that the forklift battery 4 can be placed on the material dischargers 12, thereby facilitating the transportation of the conveying members 13. When the rotating assembly 22 drives the material clamping assembly 23 to rotate, the material clamping assembly 23 should be rotated to the top of a group of material dischargers 12 closest to its own position, so that the material clamping assembly 23 can clamp the forklift battery 4 placed on the material discharger 12. In this embodiment, the material placing member 12 is a column, and the conveying member 13 is an AGV.

[0037] Preferably, if Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the heights of the two operating platforms 11 and the height of the discharge piece 12 are the same. Therefore, during the specific operation, the clamp 233 places the forklift battery 4 on the discharge piece 12. Since the weight of the forklift battery 4 is too large, the position of the forklift battery 4 will inevitably shift when placed. In this way, the two operating platforms 11 and the discharge piece 12 are set at the same height, so that the staff can easily adjust the position of the forklift battery 4. At the same time, the conveying member 13 has the function of lifting and lowering. Before the conveying member 13 enters the conveying channel 111, the height of the conveying member 13 will drop to a height lower than the height of the discharge piece 12, so that the conveying member 13 can enter the bottom of the forklift battery 4. When the forklift battery needs to be transported, the height of the conveying member 13 will be lifted, so that the height of the conveying member 13 is the same as the height of the discharge piece 12, so that the forklift battery 4 can be transported.

[0038] Specifically, Figure 1As shown, the control management mechanism 3 includes a support part 31 and a control system 32. The support part 31 is arranged on one side of the material transport mechanism 1. The control system 32 is installed on the support part 31. The control system 32 is electrically connected to the material transport mechanism 1 and the material clamping mechanism 2. During specific operation, the control system 32 controls and manages the specific operation and running status of the material transport mechanism 1 and the material clamping mechanism 2 to ensure that the material transport mechanism 1 and the material clamping mechanism 2 work stably and orderly.

[0039] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the control management mechanism 3 also includes a lighting assembly 33, which is arranged along the installation direction of the support portion 31 and is arranged on the top of the support portion 31. The lighting assembly 33 is electrically connected to the control system 32. During specific work, when the brightness of the surrounding working environment is low, the lighting assembly 33 can be turned on by the control system 32 to increase the brightness of the surrounding environment and facilitate the work of the staff.

[0040] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the lighting assembly 33 includes a lighting component 331 and a mounting component 332. The mounting component 332 is arranged along the material conveying direction of the material conveying mechanism 1 and is arranged on the top of the support portion 31. The lighting component 331 is arranged on the mounting component 332. The mounting component 332 can facilitate the hanging of the lighting component 331. In this embodiment, the lighting component 331 is an LED lamp tube.

[0041] Preferably, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, anti-slip slopes 112 are also provided at both ends of each operating platform 11. In the forklift battery 4 assembly line, due to the presence of various mechanical equipment, there are usually a lot of protective fluids and lubricants for the maintenance of the mechanical equipment. The operating platform 11 is at a certain height from the ground. Therefore, the anti-slip slopes 112 can prevent workers from slipping when getting on and off the operating platform 11.

[0042] In summary, the forklift battery assembly line of the utility model, when in specific operation, Figure 1As shown, the clamping mechanism 2 clamps and places the forklift battery 4. First, the forklift battery 4 is placed above a group of discharge members 12 that are closest to the clamping mechanism 2 itself, and then the forklift battery 4 is clamped back and forth. In addition, the forklift battery 4 is placed on the discharge members 12 in the order from close to the clamping mechanism 2 to far away from the clamping mechanism 2. When the forklift battery 4 is placed on the discharge members 12, multiple conveying members 13 will be lowered to a height lower than the discharge members 12, and will enter in sequence from the conveying channel 111 that is closest to the clamping mechanism 2. The conveying member 13 that first enters the conveying channel 111 moves between the group of discharge members 12 that are farthest from the clamping mechanism 2, so that it is just below the forklift battery 4, and the subsequent conveying members 13 enter the conveying channel 111 in sequence and are arranged in sequence according to the conveying member 13 that enters first. When a conveyor 13 is parked under each forklift battery 4, the height of the conveyor 13 farthest from the clamping mechanism 2 will be lifted, so that the height of the conveyor 13 is the same as the height of the material placing member 12, so that the forklift battery 4 can be transported. Then, the forklift battery 4 starts to be transported in the direction away from the clamping mechanism 2, and the subsequent conveyor 13 transports the forklift battery 4 in the direction of movement of the first conveyor 13. When the last conveyor 13 transports the forklift battery 4 away, the above operation is repeated to continue placing and transporting the forklift battery 4.

[0043] Therefore, the use of forklift battery assembly lines further reduces manual operations, thereby ensuring the speed of production and the safety of workers, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0044] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
