[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used in the description of the present utility model are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not used to limit the present utility model.
[0028] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0029] Now, a further description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model will be given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, a battery conveying device includes a conveyor belt 100. Along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 100 on one side, several feeding mechanisms 200 are arranged. The feeding mechanism 200 includes a supporting plate 210 and a lifting device 220. The supporting plate 210 is used to hold the stacked battery plates 10, and the lifting device 220 is used to control the lifting of the supporting plate 210. Above the conveyor belt 100, a handling mechanism 300 is arranged. On the handling mechanism 300, a steering device 310 is arranged. At the bottom of the steering device 310, a suction cup 320 is arranged. When the lifting device 220 drives the supporting plate 210 to rise to a preset height, the handling mechanism 300 is used to use the steering device 310 and the suction cup 320 to transport the battery plate 10 from the supporting plate 210 to the conveyor belt 100. On the other side of the conveyor belt 100 away from the feeding mechanism 200, a sensor 110 is arranged. The sensor 110 is opposite to the position of the feeding mechanism 200 and is electrically connected to the handling mechanism 300.
[0030] In the working state of this embodiment, the battery plates 10 are placed on the top of the supporting plate 210 in a stacked manner. Then, the lifting device 220 is started to drive the supporting plate 210 to drive the battery plates 10 to rise. When the battery plates 10 rise to the preset height, the sensor 110 is triggered, thereby sending an electrical signal to the handling mechanism 300. The handling mechanism 300 controls the steering device 310 and the suction cup 320 to move above the battery plates 10. After adsorbing the battery plates 10 with the suction cup 320, and then moving above the conveyor belt 100, the steering device 310 drives the battery plates 10 to turn in the horizontal direction, so that the lugs 20 on the battery plates 10 can be uniformly oriented towards one side of the conveyor belt 100, and then place them on the conveyor belt 100 for conveying.
[0031] Through the settings of the feeding mechanism 200, the conveyor belt 100 and the handling mechanism 300 in this application, the entire process of conveying the battery plates 10 is completed automatically without manual intervention, greatly improving the production efficiency and saving labor costs. At the same time, by setting the steering device 310, when placing the battery plates 10, the orientation of the lugs 20 on the battery plates 10 can be uniformly and accurately turned. Thus, when proceeding to the next step of shaping and welding, there is no need for manual adjustment of the downward orientation of the lugs 20, so that the next process can be carried out more conveniently.
[0032] Furthermore, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the lifting device 220 includes a first driving motor 221 and a first transmission lead screw 222. The first transmission lead screw 222 is disposed on one side of the first driving motor 221. The first driving motor 221 and the first transmission lead screw 222 are drivingly connected by a transmission belt 223. That is, when the first driving motor 221 drives the driving end to rotate, the first transmission lead screw 222 rotates synchronously through the transmission belt 223. A lifting seat 224 is sleeved on the first transmission lead screw 222. The lifting seat 224 is connected to the first transmission lead screw 222 by a lead screw connection. That is, when the first transmission lead screw 222 rotates, the lifting seat 224 can move up and down along the first transmission lead screw 222. The supporting plate 210 is disposed on the lifting seat 224. In this way, the supporting plate 210 is lifted through the lifting seat 224 and the first transmission lead screw 222 by a lead screw transmission method, so that the lifting speed of the battery panel 10 can be made smoother and more slippery. Thus, when the battery panel 10 is lifted to a preset height, the sensor 110 can be better triggered.
[0033] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the lifting device 220 further includes a first guide rail 225. The lifting seat 224 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 225. In this way, the first guide rail 225 can guide the lifting of the lifting seat 224, so that the lifting seat 224 can move up and down along the first transmission lead screw 222 and the first guide rail 225.
[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, an L-shaped limiting member 226 is disposed on one side of the supporting plate 210. The setting direction of the L-shaped limiting member 226 is the same as the setting direction of the first transmission lead screw 222. In the art, the battery panel 10 is usually rectangular. When the battery panel 10 is placed on the supporting plate 210, the L-shaped limiting member 226 can limit two adjacent sides of the battery panel 10, so that all the battery panels 10 maintain the same orientation during the lifting process. Therefore, when the turning device 310 turns the battery panel 10, only one turning parameter needs to be set for the turning device 310 to ensure that the ears 20 of the battery panel 10 face in the same direction.
[0035] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, two limiting and adjusting components 230 are disposed opposite to the L-shaped limiting member 226. The limiting and adjusting components 230 are respectively disposed on one side of two adjacent sides of the battery panel 10, so as to cooperate with the L-shaped limiting member 226 to limit the four sides of the battery panel 10.
[0036] Furthermore, on the basis of the above embodiments, as Figure 4As shown in the figure, the limit adjustment assembly 230 includes a limit plate 231, an adjustment plate 232, and a fixed plate 233. The setting direction of the limit plate 231 is the same as that of the first transmission lead screw 222. The adjustment plate 232 is fixed to the bottom of the limit plate 231 and is perpendicular to the limit plate 231. The fixed plate 233 is arranged at the bottom of the adjustment plate 232. An adjustment groove 232a is provided on one side of the adjustment plate 232, and an adjustment screw 232b is inserted into the adjustment groove 232a. The adjustment screw 232b is used to fix the adjustment plate 232 and the fixed plate 233. When the battery panel 10 is placed on the support plate 210, two sides of one side thereof are in contact with the L-shaped limit member 226. Then, by loosening the adjustment screw 232b, the adjustment plate 232 and the fixed plate 233 can move. Then, the adjustment plate 232 drives the limit plate 231 to move along the direction of the adjustment groove 232a, so that the limit plate 231 comes into contact with the other two sides of the battery panel 10 to form a limit. In this way, the four sides of the battery panel 10 are limited, so that it can be better ensured that the battery panel 10 maintains the same orientation during the lifting process. At the same time, since the adjustment plate 232 and the fixed plate 233 are adjustable, the above effects can be achieved for battery panels 10 of different sizes.
[0037] Furthermore, on the basis of the above embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, the handling mechanism 300 includes a first translation device 330, a second translation device 340, and a lifting cylinder 350. The first translation device 330 includes a frame 331. A second guide rail 332 and a second drive motor 333 are provided on the frame 331. The setting direction of the second guide rail 332 is parallel to the direction of the conveyor belt 100. A first connection seat 334 is provided on the second guide rail 332. The second drive motor 333 can drive the first connection seat 334 to move along the second guide rail 332. The second translation device 340 includes a second transmission lead screw 341 provided on the first connection seat 334. The second transmission lead screw 341 is perpendicular to the setting direction of the second guide rail 332. A sliding seat 342 is sleeved on the second transmission lead screw 341. The sliding seat 342 can move along the second transmission lead screw 341. A second connection seat 343 is provided on the sliding seat 342. The lifting cylinder 350 is provided on the second connection seat 343. The steering device 310 is provided at the bottom of the lifting cylinder 350. When the handling mechanism 300 receives an electrical signal, the second drive motor 333 drives the first connection seat 334 to move to the opposite side of the lifting mechanism. Then, the sliding seat 342 drives the lifting cylinder 350 to move above the battery panel 10 along the second transmission lead screw 341. Then, the lifting cylinder 350 is started to adsorb the battery panel 10 by using the suction cup 320, and then it moves above the conveyor belt 100. Then, the steering device 310 is used to continue to turn the battery panel 10.
[0038] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, the steering device 310 includes a steering motor 311 and a connecting member 312 disposed at the bottom of the lifting cylinder 350. The suction cup 320 is disposed at the bottom of the connecting member 312. The steering motor 311 can drive the connecting member 312 to rotate, thereby realizing the steering of the solar panel 10.
[0039] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, a third driving motor 120 is disposed at the bottom of the conveyor belt 100. The third driving motor 120 is used to drive the conveyor belt 100 to rotate. A sensor 110 is also disposed on one side of the tail end of the conveyor belt 100. The sensor 110 is electrically connected to the third driving motor 120. When the solar panel 10 is conveyed to the tail end of the conveyor belt 100, the sensor 110 is triggered, sends an electrical signal to the third driving motor 120, and controls the third driving motor 120 to stop driving the conveyor belt 100, so as to wait for the device in the next step to grab the solar panel 10 from the conveyor belt 100.
[0040] Details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, in any aspect, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present invention.
