Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of battery production equipment, and particularly relates to a core turning and transporting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] A battery cell refers to the core component of a battery, also known as an electrochemical cell or an electrode assembly. It is usually composed of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte. During the production process of a battery, the cells will go through processes such as transportation, encapsulation, liquid injection, and assembly.

[0003] To meet the production needs, during the transportation of the cells, the placement states of the cells when entering different processes are different. Therefore, it is necessary to turn the cells to adjust them to the target placement states required for different processes. Although there are already devices for turning the cells on the market, most of the existing turning devices have low turning efficiency and cannot meet the actual needs of battery production. For example, the patent application document with the application number CN114919977B and the name of "Cell Turning Device and Cell Production Equipment" includes a rotating mechanism, a storage box, a cell locking mechanism, a first driving device, a cell driving mechanism, and a second driving device. Although this invention reduces the return time of the cell storage box, it can only turn one cell at a time, with low turning efficiency and a cumbersome turning process. At the same time, since the size of the cell storage box of the existing turning device is fixed, it can only turn cells of the same specification and cannot be applied to the production and processing of multi-specification cells.

[0018] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0019] 1. In the present utility model, by adopting the design of installing multiple flipping frames on the rotating column, when a group of flipping frames completes the flipping of the battery, this group of flipping frames rotates to the lower layer. At the same time, the flipping frames originally in the lower layer rotate to the upper layer and perform the flipping work on the batteries transported by the subsequent transportation rollers, increasing the flipping efficiency. Since the flipping frames are composed of limiting fences arranged at intervals, as long as the length and width of the object to be flipped are within a certain range and the thickness is greater than the interval length between the limiting fences, the flipping work of the object to be flipped can be accurately completed. In addition, a group of flipping frames can accommodate multiple battery cells at the same time and flip multiple battery cells. While having high flipping efficiency, it can be applicable to the flipping work of various different specifications of battery cells.
