Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery processing equipment, and particularly relates to a battery carrier transplanting tooling. Background Art

[0002] During the battery processing, the battery will transfer to different workstations according to different processing steps. In the prior art, due to the smooth outer end of the battery, it is not easy to grasp the battery by a manipulator to achieve the transfer of workstations. Therefore, the battery is usually placed in a battery carrier for fixation. Therefore, how to efficiently and automatically achieve the transfer of the battery carrier workstations is a problem that enterprises need to continuously optimize to improve the processing efficiency.

[0003] A Chinese invention patent with the publication number of CN117049103B and the patent name of conveying system, conveying method and battery production line is proposed in the prior art. It specifically discloses that a return box is located between a workpiece conveying line and a tray conveying line. The return box has an upper space and a lower space. A return conveying device for returning the tray to the tray conveying line is arranged in the lower space. The workpiece conveying line is used for conveying a first workpiece, the tray conveying line is used for conveying trays, and the trays are used for carrying second workpieces; a tray conveying branch line is connected to the tray conveying line and the return conveying device. The tray conveying branch line is used for enabling the trays conveyed by the tray conveying line to flow through a processing device, and the processing device is used for processing the first workpiece into the second workpiece; a grasping and placing device is placed in the upper space of the return box and is used for grasping the first workpiece from the workpiece conveying line and placing it in the tray on the tray conveying branch line for processing by the processing device.

[0004] The conveying system and battery production line in the above solution can improve the production line beat and save the space utilization rate. The conveying method is beneficial to improving the conveying efficiency.

[0005] However, the method of using a grasping and placing device, that is, a manipulator with multiple degrees of freedom, to achieve the transfer of the battery tray workstations in the above solution will cause additional space to be set in the production line to place the manipulator and its driving mechanism, resulting in crowded workstations. And the manipulator also needs a certain stroke to move the battery tray to the specified position when grasping and transferring the battery tray, which affects the overall processing efficiency of the battery.

[0006] Therefore, a battery carrier transplanting tooling is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0034] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] This embodiment specifically describes the specific structural settings of a battery carrier transplanting tooling. Please refer to the appendix Figures 1-5 , this solution mainly includes a battery carrier conveyor belt 1 and a conveying conveyor belt 2. The battery carrier conveyor belt 1 is a closed-loop conveyor belt, and multiple battery carriers are placed thereon. The battery carrier is integrally cylindrical with a cavity in the middle, and a battery is inserted into each battery carrier;

[0037] Refer to the appendix Figure 2 , the conveying conveyor belt 2 is located inside the loop of the battery carrier conveyor belt 1 and is connected to the battery carrier conveyor belt 1. Multiple battery carriers are also placed on the conveying conveyor belt 2; Among them, a clamping mechanism is provided between the battery carrier conveyor belt 1 and the conveying conveyor belt 2. The clamping mechanism includes a frame 3 arranged between the two conveyor belts. A first fixture 31 that can reciprocate between the two conveyor belts is provided on the frame 3. The first fixture 31 is movably installed on the frame 3, and it can clamp the battery carrier on the conveying conveyor belt 2 and place it on the battery carrier conveyor belt 1.

[0038] Embodiment 2

[0039] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1 and describes the relevant workstations on the periphery of the battery carrier conveyor belt 1.

[0040] It should be noted that in this case, a turntable is provided on one side of the battery carrier conveyor belt 1, and a processing mechanism for processing the battery is provided on the periphery of the turntable. The processing mechanism is not specifically limited here and can be oiling the upper end of the battery or performing visual defect detection.

[0041] And before the battery carriers on the battery carrier conveyor belt 1 are transmitted, the battery filling process will be carried out first, that is, the unprocessed batteries are loaded into the battery carriers. The filling can be carried out by manual or mechanical hand grasping methods, which are not specifically limited here.

[0042] The processed battery carriers will continue to be transmitted under the transportation of the battery carrier conveyor belt 1. When they are transmitted to the conveying conveyor belt 2, the processed batteries in the battery carriers are taken out at this time. The taking-out method can be carried out by manual or mechanical hand grasping methods, which are not specifically limited here and are not shown in the figure. And the empty battery carriers need to be recycled to the battery carrier conveyor belt 1 for use.

[0043] Embodiment 3

[0044] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1 and further describes the specific structure of the conveying conveyor belt 2.

[0045] Refer to the appendix Figure 4, the conveying conveyor belt 2 includes a connecting section 21 and a turning section 22. The connecting section 21 is vertically connected inside the loop of the battery carrier conveyor belt 1, and the turning section 22 is perpendicular to the connecting section 21 and parallel to a part of the battery carrier conveyor belt 1. Among them, the first fixture 31 is used to clamp and place the battery carrier on the turning section 22 onto the battery carrier conveyor belt 1.

[0046] It is worth mentioning that the battery carriers that have completed the processing process on the battery carrier conveyor belt 1 will have two routes during transmission, that is, they can continue to be transmitted along the battery carrier conveyor belt 1 to one side of the turntable, or they can change the established route and be transmitted onto the conveying conveyor belt 2. The battery carriers that continue to be transmitted along the transmission direction of the battery carrier conveyor belt 1 only need to continue to be used after the battery is taken out. Since the end of the conveying conveyor belt 2 is not adjacent to the battery carrier conveyor belt 1, the intervention of the first fixture 31 is required to clamp the battery carrier and clamp and convey it onto the battery carrier conveyor belt 1.

[0047] Therefore, a good product channel and a defective product channel can be set based on these different transmission paths, that is, let the good products be transmitted through one of the transmission paths, while the defective products are transmitted to the other transmission path. The way of changing the path and the structure are not specifically limited here, and methods such as manual picking or mechanical hand clamping can be adopted.

[0048] In this case, setting a path switching structure at the junction of the battery carrier conveyor belt 1 and the conveying conveyor belt 2 to change the transmission direction of the battery carrier is a well-known technology and will not be specifically described here.

[0049] Embodiment 4

[0050] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1 and further explains the specific setting of the clamping mechanism.

[0051] Refer to the appendix Figure 2 , and in this case, there are several first fixtures 31 on the fixed frame 32. The several first fixtures 31 are spaced apart along the transmission direction of the turning section 22, and the first fixture 31 is detachably connected to the battery carrier. The first fixture 31 is cylindrical, and an inflatable expansion air bladder 311 is sleeved on the outer end face of the first fixture 31.

[0052] The first fixture 31 can perform displacements in two directions, that is, the front-back direction and the vertical direction. First, there is a fixed frame 32 on the frame 3 that can reciprocate between the turning section 22 and the battery carrier conveyor belt 1. A connecting bracket 33 that can be vertically lifted and lowered is provided on the fixed frame 32, and the first fixture 31 is arranged on the fixed frame 32.

[0053] When it is necessary to pick up the battery carrier, first, the first fixture 31 moves downward. At this time, the air-expansion sleeve 311 is in a compressed state. When the air-expansion sleeve 311 fills the middle cavity of the battery carrier (at this time, the battery transfer process has been completed), air is inflated into the air-expansion sleeve 311, so that the air-expansion sleeve 311 expands in the middle of the battery carrier and fixes the battery carrier. After the fixation, the first fixture 31 moves upward, and the fixing frame 32 drives the first fixture 31 to move in the direction of the battery carrier conveyor belt 1, and the battery carrier falls onto the battery carrier conveyor belt 1 by moving downward and re-compressing the air-expansion sleeve 311.

[0054] The grasping structure in this solution not only does not need to set up additional space to place the manipulator, but also the first fixture 31 can complete the grasping and transplanting of the battery carrier with only simple linear movements. Compared with the traditional method that requires a manipulator to grasp and rotate to achieve the transfer of workstations, the grasping structure in this solution requires less transplanting time and can effectively improve the overall processing efficiency.

[0055] Optionally, referring to the appendix Figure 1 There is also a battery tray conveyor belt 4 parallel to the conveying conveyor belt 2. The battery tray conveyor belt 4 is located on the side of the battery carrier conveyor belt 1 away from the conveying conveyor belt 2. Above the battery tray conveyor belt 4, there is a battery tray 40. The battery tray 40 is provided with placement holes 401 for placing batteries. Each battery tray 40 is provided with a plurality of placement holes 401, and the plurality of placement holes 401 are divided into several columns. Each column of placement holes 401 is provided with several and is arranged at equal intervals, and each column of placement holes 401 is parallel to the conveying conveyor belt 2. And there is a second fixture 41 between the battery tray conveyor belt 4 and the battery carrier conveyor belt 1. The setting method and structure of the second fixture 41 are not specifically limited here, and methods such as manual picking or manipulator clamping can be adopted.

[0056] The second fixture 41 can reciprocate between the battery tray conveyor belt 4 and the battery carrier conveyor belt 1 and is used to realize the position exchange of the batteries on the battery tray 40 between the battery tray conveyor belt 4 and the battery carrier conveyor belt 1.

[0057] That is, the unprocessed batteries on the battery tray 40 can be filled into the battery carriers on the battery carrier conveyor belt 1, or the processed batteries can be loaded into the battery tray 40 and conveyed via the battery tray conveyor belt 4.

[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 recorded 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.
