Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a battery module transfer device, belonging to the technical field of battery production equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of battery modules, especially when carrying out transfer operations between different processes of the production line, the prior art generally relies on manual handling of battery modules. Although this method can meet the basic transfer requirements to a certain extent, there are the following problems:

[0003] Since the battery module itself is relatively heavy, during manual handling, not only do the operators need to have high physical strength and endurance, but they also need to always maintain a high degree of vigilance to prevent accidental drops caused by physical exhaustion or improper operation. This handling method that relies on manual support has extremely poor stability and is extremely likely to shift or tip over due to interference from external factors (such as uneven ground, operation errors, etc.), thereby increasing the risk of damage to the battery module, such as cracked shells, damaged internal circuits, etc., seriously affecting product quality. More seriously, manual handling of battery modules also directly threatens the personal safety of the operators. Long-term, high-intensity handling operations may not only cause the accumulation of operator fatigue, but also cause object impact injuries due to accidental slipping of the battery module, and even trigger more serious safety accidents. In addition, manual operation is also difficult to ensure the accuracy and efficiency during the transfer process, which is not conducive to the automation and intelligent upgrade of the production process. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve the problems in the background art, the utility model provides a battery module transfer device.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical solution: A battery module transfer device includes an adjustment crossbeam and two clamping mechanisms arranged side by side front and back. Each clamping mechanism includes a clamping plate, a hoisting crossbeam, a left rotating clamping arm, and a right rotating clamping arm; a hoisting hole is provided in the middle of the hoisting crossbeam, and the left and right ends of the hoisting crossbeam are respectively hinged to the upper ends of the corresponding left rotating clamping arm and the upper end of the right rotating clamping arm. The left rotating clamping arm and the right rotating clamping arm are arranged in an X-shaped cross, and the middle of the left rotating clamping arm is hinged to the middle of the right rotating clamping arm. Clamping plates are hinged to the lower ends of the left rotating clamping arm and the right rotating clamping arm respectively, and the two clamping plates are arranged oppositely; the outer side walls of the two left rotating clamping arms and the outer side walls of the two right rotating clamping arms of the two clamping mechanisms are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding ends of the corresponding adjustment crossbeam.

[0006] Each hoisting crossbeam is provided with a plurality of round holes, and the plurality of round holes on the two hoisting crossbeams are arranged in one-to-one correspondence.

[0007] The lower ends of the left rotating clamping arm and the right rotating clamping arm are respectively hinged to one end of the corresponding limiting cross beam, and the other ends of the two limiting cross beams are fixedly connected in a limiting manner.

[0008] A handle is fixed on the outer side wall of the left rotating clamping arm and the outer side wall of the right rotating clamping arm.

[0009] An anti-rust paint layer is sprayed on the surfaces of the clamping plate, the hoisting cross beam, the left rotating clamping arm, the right rotating clamping arm, the limiting cross beam, the handle and the adjusting cross beam.

[0010] Anti-slip pads are sleeved on the outer sides of the two clamping plates.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

A hoisting hole 4 is provided in the middle of the hoisting cross beam 3. The left and right ends of the hoisting cross beam 3 are respectively hinged to the upper ends of the corresponding left rotating clamping arm 5 and the right rotating clamping arm 6 through corresponding axles 9 and split pins 10. During use, the rotation angle will be automatically adjusted by the gravity effect. The left rotating clamping arm 5 and the right rotating clamping arm 6 are arranged in an X-shaped cross. The middle parts of the left rotating clamping arm 5 and the right rotating clamping arm 6 are hinged through a pin shaft. The lower ends of the left rotating clamping arm 5 and the right rotating clamping arm 6 are respectively hinged with a clamping plate 1 through corresponding axles 9 and split pins 10. The hinge ensures that the clamping plate 1 can be in full contact with the battery module housing during use, improving the stability. The two clamping plates 1 are arranged oppositely. The outer side walls of the two left rotating clamping arms 5 and the outer side walls of the two right rotating clamping arms 6 of the two clamping mechanisms are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding ends of the corresponding adjustment cross beam 13.

[0018] When using the present utility model, a sling or a hook is inserted into the hoisting hole 4, and the present utility model is lifted upward. The left rotating clamping arm 5 and the right rotating clamping arm 6 are driven to rotate by the gravity effect, so that the left rotating clamping arm 5 and the right rotating clamping arm 6 can automatically adjust the opening size, and then drive the clamping plate 1 to move. The clamping plate 1 is used to grab the battery module. Without manual adjustment by the operator, automatic adjustment can be realized, which has good safety.

[0019] Each hoisting cross beam 3 is provided with a plurality of uniformly distributed round holes along its respective length. The plurality of round holes on the two hoisting cross beams 3 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and the installation position can be adjusted according to the actual length dimension of battery modules of different specifications.

[0020] The lower ends of the left rotating clamping arm 5 and the right rotating clamping arm 6 are respectively hinged to one end of the corresponding limit cross beam 7 through corresponding axles 9 and split pins 10. The other ends of the two limit cross beams 7 are limited and fixedly connected. Specifically, long round holes are provided at the other ends of the two limit cross beams 7. The two long round holes are arranged in correspondence, and a dowel bolt 11 and a self-locking nut 12 are provided in the two long round holes, ensuring the movement margin of the two limit cross beams 7, and the long round holes limit the maximum and minimum opening sizes of the X-shaped hinge structure of the left rotating clamping arm 5 and the right rotating clamping arm 6, ensuring that the present utility model will not cause damage to the battery module during use and improving the stability.

[0021] A handle 8 is fixed on the outer side wall of the left rotating clamping arm 5 and the outer side wall of the right rotating clamping arm 6. The handle 8 is used to manually adjust the spatial position of the present utility model and the opening angle of the left rotating clamping arm 5 and the right rotating clamping arm 6.

[0022] The surfaces of the clamping plates 1, the hoisting cross beam 3, the left rotating clamping arm 5, the right rotating clamping arm 6, the limiting cross beam 7, the handle 8 and the adjusting cross beam 13 are all subjected to anti-corrosion and rust removal treatment, and are sprayed with an anti-rust paint layer to improve the service life and easy cleaning ability of the present utility model.

[0023] Anti-slip pads 2 are sleeved on the outer sides of the two clamping plates 1.

[0024] The anti-slip pad 2 is made of polyurethane and has a buffering and anti-slip effect. The anti-slip pad 2 is provided with a circular stepped hole for fixing. The fixed bolt head is lower than the surface of the anti-slip pad 2. The clamping plate 1 is composed of three steel plates and steel bars welded together. The steel bars are higher than the surface of the anti-slip pad 2. Positioning round holes are provided on both sides of the battery module. When using the present utility model, the steel bars are inserted into the positioning round holes on both sides of the battery module, and then directly hoisted to ensure accurate clamping position and improve accuracy.

[0025] The shaft pins 9, the split pins 10, the set bolts 11 and the lock nuts 12 are all made of stainless steel 304 to improve the service life and easy cleaning ability of the present utility model.
