Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery processing equipment, and particularly relates to a transmission tooling for battery tray conveying. Background Art
[0002] In the process of battery processing, due to the small volume of the battery and the relatively smooth outer surface of the battery, it is not easy to grasp the battery by using a common manipulator. Therefore, a plurality of batteries need to be placed on a battery tray, and the battery is transferred between workstations by moving the battery tray.
[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with a publication number of CN220466736U and a patent name of tray transfer device and battery processing equipment is disclosed in the prior art. It specifically discloses the following components: a support frame assembly; a lifting assembly connected to the support frame assembly; a conveying assembly connected to the moving part of the lifting assembly and adapted to rise or fall under the drive of the lifting assembly. A feeding station capable of being docked with a feeding device is provided on the conveying assembly; a jacking and clamping opening assembly is arranged at a position opposite to the feeding station on the conveying assembly. The jacking and clamping opening assembly is adapted to jack the tray on the conveying assembly to a target height and at the same time open the clips on the tray.
[0004] The above solution can realize the synchronous operation of jacking and clip opening and the precise positioning of the tray, which is beneficial to accelerating the production rhythm and improving the production efficiency; simplifies the jacking and clip opening mechanism, is beneficial to optimizing the space layout and reducing the cost, and is convenient to form an effective connection with the conveying line and the feeding device, which is beneficial to realizing the overall automated production operation.
[0005] In the actual process of battery processing, a conveyor belt is mostly used to transfer the battery tray. During the conveying process, it is necessary to take out the batteries stored in the battery tray from the battery tray and then transfer the empty battery tray away. However, in the prior art, most of the battery trays are conveyed one by one, resulting in low conveying efficiency. And at the end of the conveyor belt, the transfer action of the battery tray needs to be repeated many times, which not only reduces the conveying efficiency but also increases the energy consumption of the equipment for transferring the battery tray and increases the processing cost of the enterprise.
[0006] Therefore, a transmission tooling for battery tray conveying is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0007] Technical Problem to be Solved
[0008] Aiming at the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, the utility model provides a transmission tooling for battery tray conveying, which can effectively solve the problems of low conveying efficiency of the existing battery tray conveying method and increased enterprise costs.
[0009] Technical Solution
[0010] To achieve the above object, the utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:
[0011] The utility model provides a transmission tooling for conveying a battery tray, including a frame body, on which a conveyor belt for conveying the battery tray is arranged. Two symmetrically distributed transfer grippers are arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt. The two transfer grippers can move towards each other and are used for clamping the battery tray located on the conveyor belt, and each transfer gripper can vertically lift along the height direction of the battery tray.
[0012] Further, there are two conveyor belts, and the two conveyor belts are arranged in parallel.
[0013] Further, several vertically liftable limiting plates are arranged between the two conveyor belts.
[0014] Further, a vertically liftable limiting door is arranged at the end of the conveyor belt.
[0015] Further, a backstop for preventing the battery tray from retreating on the conveyor belt is arranged on the conveyor belt, and the backstop is located on the moving path of the battery tray.
[0016] Further, the backstop includes a baffle elastically hinged on the frame body. The end face of the baffle on the side away from the limiting door is an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is located on the moving path of the battery tray.
[0017] Further, the backstop can linearly slide towards the side of the limiting door.
[0018] Further, the backstop is located on the central axis of the battery tray.
[0019] Further, bayonets are respectively arranged on both side end faces of the battery tray. The bayonets are recessed inward and are matched with the transfer grippers.
[0020] There are two bayonets arranged on the side end face of the battery tray, and the two bayonets are symmetric about the central axis of the battery tray.
[0021] Beneficial effects
[0022] The technical solution provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the known public technology:
[0023] By arranging transfer grippers on both sides of the conveyor belt for conveying the battery tray, the utility model can clamp and stack upwards the battery tray located between the two transfer grippers when transferring the battery on the battery tray, and finally transfer the battery trays uniformly, with a relatively high degree of automation;
[0024] By stacking empty battery trays, it is not necessary to set a too long conveyor belt.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0037] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments.
[0038] Embodiment 1:
[0039] This embodiment proposes a transmission tooling for battery tray transportation, mainly introducing the specific way of battery tray transportation. Please refer to the attached Figures 1-6 , which mainly includes a frame 1. A conveyor belt 2 for transporting the battery tray 10 is arranged on the frame 1. The battery tray 10 is transported at intervals on the conveyor belt 2, and the conveyor belt 2 stops intermittently.
[0040] On both sides in the width direction of the conveyor belt 2, a transfer gripper 21 is respectively arranged, and the two transfer grippers 21 are symmetrically distributed. The two transfer grippers 21 can move towards each other and are used to grip the battery tray 10 located on the conveyor belt 2, and each transfer gripper 21 can vertically lift and lower along the height direction of the battery tray 10.
[0041] Refer to the attached Figure 4, when the battery tray 10 on the conveyor belt 2 moves between the two transfer grippers 21, the two transfer grippers 21 move towards each other and are simultaneously fixed on the battery tray 10. After being fixed to the battery tray 10, the two transfer grippers 21 clamp the battery tray 10 and rise. At this time, the conveyor belt 2 continues to run. When the next battery tray 10 moves between the two transfer grippers 21 again, the transfer grippers 21 release the fixation and restraint on the current battery tray 10, allowing the upper battery tray 10 to rest on the lower battery tray 10 to form a stack. At this time, the transfer grippers 21 descend again and fix to the lower battery tray 10 and lift the two upper battery trays 10 again. The conveyor belt 2 continues to run, and the transfer grippers 21 repeat the above process until the battery tray 10 lifted by the transfer grippers 21 reaches a certain height. At this time, the transfer grippers 21 release the restraint on the lowermost battery tray 10, and the conveyor belt 2 is used to move the battery tray 10 at a certain height away.
[0042] Embodiment 2:
[0043] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1 and further introduces the driving method for restricting the battery tray 10.
[0044] Refer to the appendix Figure 3 , the conveyor belt 2 can be arranged in various ways such as a belt or rollers, and specific limitations are not made here. In this case, two conveyor belts 2 are provided, and the two conveyor belts 2 are arranged in parallel, and the battery tray 10 moves on the two conveyor belts 2.
[0045] Since the battery tray 10 is made of plastic and has a certain weight, when the conveyor belt 2 stops, the battery tray 10 may fall forward due to inertia. Therefore, in this case, several vertically liftable limiting plates 3 are provided between the two conveyor belts 2. The bottom of the limiting plate 3 is provided with a telescopic structure, and the telescopic structure can be realized by an electric push rod or other means for reciprocating movement in the vertical direction, and specific limitations are not made here. In this case, the lower end of the limiting plate 3 is provided with an electric push rod.
[0046] Refer to the appendix Figure 6 , and the number of the limiting plates 3 is at least two groups, and the two groups of limiting plates 3 are respectively located on both sides of the transfer gripper 21.
[0047] A vertically liftable limiting door 4 is provided at the end of the conveyor belt 2. The upper end of the limiting door 4 is provided with an electric telescopic structure, and the telescopic structure can be realized by an electric push rod or other means for reciprocating movement in the vertical direction, and specific limitations are not made here.
[0048] Embodiment 3:
[0049] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1. Refer to the appendix Figure 2, a specific introduction is given to the stop member 22 for preventing the battery tray 10 from retreating.
[0050] At the same time, in order to prevent the battery tray 10 from retreating, a stopper 22 is provided on the conveyor belt 2 , and the stopper 22 is located on the moving path of the battery tray 10 .
[0051] Furthermore, the retaining member 22 includes a baffle 221 elastically hinged on the frame 1 , and an end surface of the baffle 221 away from the limiting door 4 is an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is located on the moving path of the battery tray 10 .
[0052] When the battery tray 10 is transmitted on the conveyor belt 2, the battery tray 10 will conflict with the inclined surface on the baffle 221 and allow the baffle 221 to rotate a certain angle. When the battery tray 10 has a certain tendency to retreat, the battery tray 10 has moved to the other side of the baffle 221. At this time, the baffle 221 is reset under the action of elasticity, and the other end face of the baffle 221 is parallel to the side end face of the battery tray 10. Therefore, once the battery tray 10 retreats, it will conflict with the back side of the baffle 221, and the baffle 221 is difficult to rotate at this time, thereby limiting the retreat of the battery tray 10.
[0053] It is worth mentioning that in this case, the baffle 221 can also be set as a one-way rotation mechanism, and the elastic hinge structure and the one-way rotation structure are common knowledge and are not specifically limited here and are not shown in the drawings.
[0054] In this case, a telescopic push rod is provided on the side of the stop member 22 away from the limiting door 4, and the telescopic push rod can be used to linearly slide toward the side of the limiting door 4 to adjust the position of the stop member 22.
[0055] In order to provide the best retaining effect, the retaining member 22 in this case is located on the central axis of the battery tray 10 .
[0056] See attached Figure 3 In this case, the two side end surfaces of the battery tray 10 are respectively provided with a bayonet 101, and the bayonet 101 is concave inwardly and cooperates with the transport clamp 21.
[0057] Two latches 101 are respectively disposed on the end surfaces of both sides of the battery tray 10 , and the two latches 101 are symmetrical about the central axis of the battery tray 10 .
[0058] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
