Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a material receiving device, belonging to the field of battery transportation equipment. Background Art

[0002] At present, the lithium battery industry at home and abroad has a good development prospect. In the production of lithium ions, there are multiple processes such as laser cutting, assembly, and baking. At present, the production of lithium batteries is highly automated. However, due to certain differences in the equipment used between different processes, it is inevitable that the production capacity beats of each process are different or the transfer methods are different. Some processes are transferred through the logistics line, and some processes are transported by robots. Therefore, it is difficult for the batteries in some processes to flow through the logistics line or the front and back beats are unbalanced, resulting in the need for additional manual handling or beat waste, thus affecting the battery production efficiency.

[0003] In order to improve this phenomenon, the prior art adopts the full logistics line method to handle the transfer of batteries between processes. However, due to the different residence times, production densities, and scales of workstations in each process, there are beat differences between single-piece flow and batch flow of batteries between processes. The existing transportation line can only unify the beat of the batch flow of batteries and cannot accurately control the transportation beat to the single-piece flow, resulting in overloading in some sections and empty loading in some sections of the transportation line, which affects the performance of the logistics line equipment in the long term.

[0004] In addition, adopting the full logistics line method makes the floor area of the workshop large and it is impossible to layout and adjust the flexible production line, increasing the land use cost and management cost of the enterprise. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] Purpose of the utility model: The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a material receiving device that can unify the single-piece flow beat and batch flow beat of batteries during battery transportation and blanking through a blocking mechanism and a material receiving mechanism, and solve the problems of unbalanced circulation beats, beat waste, and low automation degree in the prior art during battery transportation and blanking.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model is implemented by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0007] A material receiving device includes:

[0008] A blocking mechanism, which is arranged on the logistics line and is used to limit the single-piece flow beat of the battery in the logistics line;

[0010] The material receiving part moves with the moving part between multiple logistics lines and is used to batch receive the batteries released by the blocking mechanism on multiple logistics lines to unify the batch flow beat of the batteries blanked from multiple logistics lines.

[0013] The material receiving part is provided with a plurality of parallel slots corresponding to the logistics channel for receiving the batteries released by the blocking mechanism. The logistics line is divided into parallel logistics channels through the separating mechanism to realize the parallel transportation of multiple batteries on a single logistics line.

[0015] The blocking mechanism includes a lifting part installed on the logistics line and a plurality of blocking blocks connected to the power end of the lifting part;

[0016] The plurality of blocking blocks are lifted and lowered in the logistics channel under the drive of the lifting part for limiting and releasing the batteries in the logistics channel.

[0017] Since the number of blocking mechanisms is multiple, in practical applications, control each blocking mechanism to cache a battery in each logistics channel. By increasing the number of multiple blocking mechanisms to increase the number of cache areas of batteries in the logistics channel, thereby increasing the calibration nodes for battery rhythm adjustment in each logistics channel. When the blocking mechanism close to the material receiving mechanism releases the multiple batteries in parallel transportation, the multiple batteries flow uniformly in parallel to the material receiving mechanism. At the same time, the blocking mechanism close to the material receiving mechanism blocks the batteries released by other blocking mechanisms again until all the batteries in all logistics channels are blocked and cached, achieving the purpose of finally aligning the single-piece flow rhythm of the batteries in all logistics channels. Through the serial and parallel cross-blocking design, it can effectively avoid the phenomenon of unsaturated and wasted transportation and receiving rhythms. At the same time, through the retention of a single battery in a single blocking mechanism, it increases the time redundancy for optimizing the single-piece flow rhythm and batch flow rhythm, which is more conducive to controlling the overall rhythm.

[0018] Optionally, the lifting part includes a fixing device installed on the logistics line and a plurality of first cylinders installed on the fixing device;

[0026] During material receiving, each of the slots is aligned with each of the logistics channels respectively, and the motor drives the two transmission shafts to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt, thereby driving the conveyor belts in all the slots to transport the batteries synchronously, realizing the alignment of the material receiving rhythm of the batteries.

[0027] Optionally, an induction device is further arranged on the slot; by installing corresponding induction devices in each slot, the position of the battery in each slot can be sensed, avoiding the problem of missed material receiving. When all the induction devices are triggered, a material receiving part saturation signal is output, thereby triggering the next transfer process of the battery and realizing the automated operation of different processes.

[0028] Optionally, a stop plate is provided at the end of the slot far from the logistics channel, and buffer layers are connected to the end face of the stop plate close to the slot and both side faces of the slot.

[0031] When the adjusting bolt is moved towards the stop plate, pressure is exerted on the stop plate. After the stop plate moves towards the conveyor belt and comes into contact, the pressure is transmitted to the conveyor belt and the transmission shaft, increasing the static friction between the transmission shaft and the conveyor belt, thus helping to ensure the stable transmission of the conveyor belt, avoiding slipping or deviation, and improving the efficiency and reliability of the entire material receiving part.

In practical applications, only one battery is allowed to pass through each channel at the same time, so as to better control the parallel transportation rhythm of multiple batteries.

[0068] Optionally, there are two or more blocking mechanisms 12 on the first logistics line 1 and the second logistics line 2 respectively to synchronously limit the batteries 4 in the parallel logistics channels, form calibration positions for multiple transportation rhythms along the length direction of the transportation line, and cyclically correct the rhythms of the batteries 4 in multiple parallel logistics channels.

[0069] By increasing the number of the multiple blocking mechanisms 12 to increase the number of buffer areas of the batteries 4 in the logistics channels, thereby increasing the calibration nodes for the rhythm adjustment of the batteries 4 in each logistics channel. After the blocking mechanism 12 close to the feeding mechanism 3 releases the multiple batteries 4 transported in parallel, the multiple batteries 4 flow uniformly in parallel towards the feeding mechanism 3.

[0081] Working principle:

[0082] With the help of a loading device or other equipment, batteries 4 are placed in each logistics channel of the first logistics line 1 or the second logistics line 2. The batteries 4 are transported and transferred in the 4 logistics channels of the first logistics line 1 or the second logistics line 2, and at the same time, only one battery 4 is allowed to pass through each logistics channel at the same time. When the batteries 4 on the material receiving mechanism 3 are emptied, the blocking mechanism 12 close to the material receiving mechanism 3 controls its lifting part to drive a plurality of blocking blocks 122 to rise, releasing the plurality of batteries 4 transported in parallel, so that the plurality of batteries 4 flow uniformly and in parallel towards the material receiving mechanism 3. The blocking mechanism 12 close to the material receiving mechanism 3 controls its lifting part to drive a plurality of blocking blocks 122 to descend, performing limit buffering on the batteries 4 released by the adjacent blocking mechanism 12.

[0083] Since the number of blocking mechanisms 12 is multiple, in practical applications, each blocking mechanism 12 is controlled to buffer one battery 4 in each logistics channel. Therefore, the adjacent blocking mechanisms 12 cycle to limit and release the batteries 4 until the batteries 4 reach the material receiving mechanism 3, controlling the single-piece flow rhythm of the batteries 4, and achieving the purpose of finally performing parallel rhythm alignment on the batteries 4 in all logistics channels. Through the serial and parallel cross-blocking design, it is possible to effectively avoid the phenomenon of unsaturated and wasted transportation and receiving rhythms.

[0084] When the material receiving mechanism 3 receives materials from the first logistics line 1 or the second logistics line 2, it first drives the material receiving part 32 to move to the corresponding logistics line through the moving part 31. Specifically, the second air cylinder 315 drives the piston rod to extend and retract, driving the connecting plate 313, and the toothed disc 321 and the slider q on the connecting plate 313 move relative to the guide rail assembly 314 until the material receiving part 32 stops at the end of the first logistics line 1 or the second logistics line 2. At this time, a single slot is connected to a single logistics channel, bringing the conveyor belt m in the slot close to the logistics channel, enabling the conveyor belt m to receive the batteries 4 transported by the logistics channel. All conveyor belts m move synchronously under the drive of the motor 326, and thus the rhythm of parallel material receiving of the batteries 4 can be controlled. After the motor 326 outputs power, the power is transmitted to the transmission shaft through the second pulley 325, the synchronous belt 324, and the first pulley 323, causing the transmission shaft to drive the conveyor belt m to rotate, realizing the transfer of the batteries 4.

[0085] When the battery 4 is moved by the conveyor belt m to the rear end of the slot, it can be sensed by the inductor i. After all the batteries 4 in all the slots are sensed, the material receiving mechanism 3 performs the transfer work of the next process of the battery 4. If there are still some slots in the material receiving part 32 that do not sense the battery 4, the material receiving part 32 is driven by the moving part 31 to move to the end of another logistics line again, so that some empty slots correspond to the logistics channels of its logistics line, and the material receiving operation is repeated until all the inductors i in all the slots on the material receiving part 32 detect that the battery 4 is in place, and then the process of the next process is responded to.

[0086] This embodiment provides a material receiving device, including:

[0087] A plurality of logistics lines, a separation mechanism, a blocking mechanism 12 and a material receiving mechanism 3;

[0088] Among them, the separation mechanism is respectively arranged at the working surfaces of a plurality of logistics lines, and the working surfaces of the plurality of logistics lines are separated into a plurality of parallel logistics channels; the blocking mechanism 12 is respectively arranged at the working surfaces of the plurality of logistics lines, so as to limit the flow rhythm of the battery 4 in the logistics channel; the material receiving mechanism 3 is arranged near the end of any one logistics line, so as to batch receive the batteries 4 on multiple logistics lines and unify the flow rhythm of the batteries 4.

[0089] By forming parallel logistics channels through the separation mechanism, the parallel transportation of multiple batteries 4 on each logistics line is realized. By limiting the batteries 4 in the logistics channel through the blocking mechanism 12, each blocking mechanism 12 stores a battery 4 in buffer, unifying the single-piece flow rhythm of the batteries 4 on the logistics line and batch receiving the batteries 4 on multiple logistics lines through the material receiving mechanism 3, and further unifying the batch flow rhythm of the batteries 4 between multiple logistics lines, balancing the flow rhythm of the batteries 4 between different logistics lines and different processes and improving the automation standard of battery 4 transportation and blanking; considering the floor area of multiple logistics lines, the present utility model designs the material receiving mechanism 3 as a non-guide rail mobile type. For example, the bottom of the material receiving mechanism 3 is configured with moving wheels. This device can be quickly arranged and refitted according to production requirements and the existing production line layout, so that the material receiving mechanism 3 batch receives materials from multiple logistics lines at the same time, which is easy to layout the flexible production line and has great flexibility compared with the existing full logistics line material receiving and transportation, and reduces the occupation of production space.

[0090] Among them, the separation mechanism and the blocking mechanism 12 are both set in the same way as in Embodiment 1. The material receiving mechanism 3 can be changed accordingly according to the layout of the production line. The improvement points include: extending the stroke of the moving part 31 so that it can move between multiple logistics lines and increasing the number of slots of the gear disk 321 to match the number of logistics channels of multiple logistics lines, or increasing the number of material receiving mechanisms 3 to realize the efficient transportation of multiple logistics lines, expanding the industrial scope, improving the automation efficiency of battery 4 transportation and blanking, and avoiding waste of production rhythm.

[0091] In summary, through the restriction of the battery 4 in the logistics channel by the blocking mechanism 12, the single-piece flow rhythm of the battery 4 on each logistics line is unified, and the battery 4 on multiple logistics lines is batch received by the material receiving mechanism 3, and the batch flow rhythm of the battery 4 on multiple logistics lines is unified, so as to balance the circulation rhythm of the battery 4 on different logistics lines, meet the transfer requirements of different processes, and improve the automation standard of the battery 4 transportation. The working surface 11 of the logistics line is divided into multiple parallel logistics channels by the partitioning mechanism, which is convenient for calibrating the real-time and accurate conveying rhythm of a single battery 4; and during the conveying process, the battery is guided and protected by the side rollers to avoid the battery being knocked. The structure of this device is concise and the assembly is convenient. It can be quickly arranged and modified according to production needs, so that the material receiving mechanism 3 can batch receive materials from multiple logistics lines at the same time, which is easy to layout the flexible production line and improve the automation efficiency of the battery 4 transportation and loading and unloading, and avoid wasting the production rhythm.
