Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of production equipment for battery cell modules, and more specifically to a steel strip storage frame. Background Art

[0002] A battery cell module is formed by stacking multiple battery cells. To fasten the multiple battery cells, generally two steel strips are sleeved outside the battery cell module to make the multiple battery cells closely adhere to each other.

[0003] As Figure 1 shown, the steel strip 200 is a square frame. The steel strip is very thin and has flexibility itself. If the steel strips are directly stacked on top of each other, the steel strips are likely to overlap, resulting in easy mis-taking when the steel strips are automatically picked up later. Therefore, the existing steel strip storage frames cannot meet the requirements of automated production, and only manual loading and unloading can be used. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application provides a battery cell module extrusion mechanism, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A steel strip storage frame includes a mounting rack and at least one material storage mechanism. The material storage mechanism includes a plurality of support components mounted on the mounting rack, wherein:

[0006] The plurality of support components are arranged in pairs, each pair of support components is arranged oppositely, and multiple pairs of support components are arranged at intervals in the first horizontal direction;

[0007] Each support component includes a bracket and a plurality of support blocks. The bracket is mounted on the mounting rack, and the plurality of support blocks are mounted on the bracket at intervals in the vertical direction. The support blocks of multiple pairs of support components located on the same horizontal plane cooperate to carry a steel strip.

[0008] The steel strip storage frame provided by this application realizes the layered stacking of steel strips. The picking device can automatically pick up the steel strips from the steel strip storage frame from top to bottom, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0009] In some embodiments, the material storage mechanism further includes a plurality of first fixing rods. The first fixing rods extend in the first horizontal direction, and both ends of each first fixing rod are respectively configured to fix the tops of two adjacent brackets in the first horizontal direction.

[0010] By providing the first fixing rods between the brackets of two adjacent support components, the fixed positioning of the support components is realized, and the support components are prevented from tilting and misaligning.

[0011] In some embodiments, the storage mechanism also includes two limit assemblies arranged relatively along the first horizontal direction, the limit assemblies include two limit rods arranged at intervals along the second horizontal direction, the limit rods extend along the vertical direction, and the two limit rods cooperate to tighten one of the sides of the steel belt extending along the second horizontal direction from the inside, and the second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction; the limit assembly also includes a second fixing rod, and the two ends of the second fixing rod are respectively configured to fix the top ends of the two limit rods.

[0012] By setting a limit assembly, the two sides of the steel strip extending along the second horizontal direction are tightened, so that the steel strip stored in the steel strip material frame is in a tightened state, making it convenient for the steel strip picking device to pick up the steel strip from the steel strip material frame.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first end of the support block close to the center of the storage mechanism is the support end, and a limiting groove for the steel strip to partially fall into is provided on the support end of the support block.

[0014] By arranging a limiting groove on the supporting end of the support block, the steel belt is limited and prevented from sliding off the supporting end of the support block.

[0015] In some embodiments, the first support block from bottom to top on each support assembly can be switched to a waiting position or a working position, and the mth support block from bottom to top on each support assembly can be switched to a working position, a waiting position or an avoidance position, where m>1, the support block in the working position is used to carry the steel belt, the support block in the waiting position is located on the moving path of the steel belt, and the support block in the avoidance position avoids the moving path of the steel belt; when the i-th support block is in the working position, the i+1-th support block above it is in the waiting position, and several support blocks above the i+1-th support block are in the avoidance position, where i≥1; the middle part of each support block is rotatably mounted via a rotating shaft On the bracket, the first end of the support block close to the center of the storage mechanism is the support end, and the second end of the support block close to the edge of the storage mechanism is the linkage end; the support end of the support block rotates out of the bracket to switch to the waiting position, and the steel belt can be moved and placed on the support end of the support block; when the steel belt contacts the support block in the waiting position and continues to move downward, the support end of the support block rotates downward to the horizontal under the pressure of the steel belt to switch to the working position; in the process of the support end of the i-th support block rotating downward to the horizontal under the pressure of the steel belt, the linkage end of the i-th support block pushes the linkage end of the i+1-th support block upward to switch the i+1-th support block to the waiting position.

[0016] By configuring the support blocks, when placing the steel strips layer by layer from bottom to top, when the current steel strip to be stored is placed on the support end of the i-th support block in the waiting position, the i-th support block can drive the i+1-th support block above it to move from the avoidance position to the waiting position. In this way, the next steel strip can be placed on the support end of the i+1-th support block.

[0017] In some embodiments, the support assembly also includes a plurality of first limit columns and a second limit column, wherein: the plurality of first limit columns are equidistantly arranged on the bracket in the vertical direction, the first limit columns correspond to the support blocks one by one, the first limit columns are located below the corresponding support blocks and close to the center of the mounting frame, and when the support blocks are in the working position, the support ends of the support blocks rest against the corresponding first limit columns; the second limit columns are located below the bottom support block and close to the edge of the mounting frame, and when there is no steel belt stored on the bottom support block, the bottom of the bottom support block rests against the second limit column to make the bottom support block in the waiting position.

[0018] By providing the first limiting post, after the steel strip is placed on the supporting end of the corresponding support block, the supporting end of the support block rotates to a horizontal position and abuts against the first limiting post, thereby limiting the rotation of the supporting end of the support block, preventing excessive rotation of the supporting end of the support block and causing the steel strip to fall. Because there is no support block below the bottom support block to drive it to the waiting position, the bottom support block must be in the waiting position when no steel strip is stored in order to store the first steel strip. By providing the second limiting post, the bottom support block is placed in the waiting position when no steel strip is stored.

[0019] In some embodiments, the center of gravity of the support block is close to the linkage end. When the (i+1)th support block is in the waiting position, several support blocks above the (i+1)th support block are in the avoidance position under the action of their own gravity.

[0020] In this way, it can be ensured that the next steel strip can smoothly pass through the support block above the i+1th support block and be stored on the i+1th support block.

[0021] In some embodiments, a roller is provided at the bottom of the linkage end of the mth support block, and a yield groove is provided on the upper surface of the linkage end of each support block; the roller of the support block in the waiting position and the avoidance position is located in the yield groove of the support block below.

[0022] By providing a roller and a matching clearance slot, when the i-th support block below rotates, the i+1-th support block above it can be linked more smoothly, preventing any jamming between the two.

[0023] In some embodiments, the mounting frame includes a base, a plurality of support rods and a plurality of beams, wherein: a plurality of support components of the storage mechanism are mounted on the base; a plurality of beams extend along a first horizontal direction and are parallel, and each beam is fixed to the base through at least two support rods, and the top ends of the brackets of the plurality of support components on the same side along the first horizontal direction are respectively fixed to a beam through connecting blocks.

[0024] By setting up the mounting rack, the mounting rack can support and fix the support component.

[0025] In some embodiments, two stock storage mechanisms are provided, and the two stock storage mechanisms are installed on the mounting rack at intervals along the second horizontal direction, and the second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction.

[0026] Setting two stock storage mechanisms enables the steel strip frame to store more steel strips. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0040] Such as Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, the steel strip storage frame in the embodiment of the present application includes a mounting frame 1 and at least one material storage mechanism. The material storage mechanism includes a plurality of support components 2 mounted on the mounting frame 1. The plurality of support components 2 are arranged in pairs, and each pair of support components 2 are arranged opposite to each other. Multiple pairs of support components 2 are arranged at intervals along the first horizontal direction (such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 the X-axis direction in

[0041] ). Each support component 2 includes a bracket 21 and a plurality of support blocks 22. The bracket 21 is mounted on the mounting frame 1, and the plurality of support blocks 22 are mounted on the bracket 21 at intervals in the vertical direction. The support blocks 22 of multiple pairs of support components 2 located on the same horizontal plane cooperate to carry a steel strip 200.

[0042] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 the steel strip storage frame in the embodiment includes two material storage mechanisms arranged along the second horizontal direction (such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 the Y-axis direction in

[0043] ). Each material storage mechanism includes two pairs of support components 2 arranged along the first horizontal direction. The support blocks 22 of the four support components 2 of each material storage mechanism located on the same horizontal plane cooperate to carry a steel strip 200. Among them, the second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction.

[0044] In the steel strip storage frame in the embodiment of the present application, the layered stacking of the steel strip 200 is realized. Therefore, the steel strip taking device can automatically take out the steel strip 200 from the steel strip storage frame from top to bottom, thereby improving the production efficiency.

[0045] Optionally, the mounting frame 1 includes a base 11, a plurality of support rods 12 and a plurality of cross beams 13, where: the plurality of support components 2 of the material storage mechanism are mounted on the base 11. The plurality of cross beams 13 extend and are parallel along the first horizontal direction. Each cross beam 13 is fixed to the base 11 by at least two support rods 12. The tops of the brackets 21 of the plurality of support components 2 located on the same side along the first horizontal direction are respectively fixed to a cross beam 13 through connection blocks. By setting the mounting frame 1, the mounting frame 1 can support and fix the support components 2.

[0046] Optionally, the stock storage mechanism further includes two limiting components 4 disposed opposite to each other along the first horizontal direction. The limiting component 4 includes two limiting rods 41 spaced apart along the second horizontal direction. The limiting rods 41 extend in the vertical direction. The two limiting rods 41 cooperate to tightly support one of the sides of the steel strip 200 extending along the second horizontal direction (such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 the Y-axis direction in

[0047] ). The limiting component 4 further includes a second fixing rod 42. The two ends of the second fixing rod 42 are respectively configured to fix the tops of the two limiting rods 41.

[0048] By providing the limiting component 4, the two sides of the steel strip 200 extending along the second horizontal direction are tightened, so that the steel strip stored in the steel strip frame is in a tightened state, which facilitates the steel strip picking device to pick up the steel strip from the steel strip frame.

[0049] That is to say, for the steel strip 200 stored in the steel strip frame, its two sides extending along the first horizontal direction (for example, the long sides of the steel strip) are supported by the support blocks 22 of multiple pairs of support components 2 located on the same horizontal plane, and its two sides extending along the second horizontal direction (for example, the short sides of the steel strip) are tightened by two limiting components 4.

[0050] As Figures 4 to 7 shown, the first end of the support block 22 close to the center of the stock storage mechanism is the support end 221. A limiting groove (not shown in the figure) for part of the steel strip to fall into is provided on the support end 221 of the support block 22.

[0051] By providing the limiting groove on the support end 221 of the support block 22, the limiting of the steel strip 200 is realized, preventing the steel strip 200 from slipping off the support end 221 of the support block 22.

[0052] Optionally, the first support block 22 (i.e., the lowermost support block 22) of each support component 2 from bottom to top can be switched to the waiting position or the working position. The m-th support block 22 of each support component 2 from bottom to top can be switched to the working position, the waiting position or the avoidance position, where m > 1. That is, the lowermost support block 22 of each support component 2 has two status positions, namely the waiting position and the working position, while the other support blocks 22 all have three status positions, namely the working position, the waiting position and the avoidance position.

[0053] The support block 22 in the working position is used to carry the steel strip 200. The support block 22 in the waiting position is located on the moving path of the steel strip 200. That is, when the steel strip 200 to be stored moves downward, it is blocked by the support block 22 in the waiting position and finally falls onto the support block 22 in the waiting position. The support block 22 in the avoidance position avoids the moving path of the steel strip 200. That is, when the steel strip 200 to be stored moves downward, it can pass by each support block 22 in the avoidance position and finally falls onto the support block 22 in the waiting position.

[0054] Specifically, from bottom to top, when the i-th support block 22 is in the working position (i.e., there is a steel strip stored on it), the (i + 1)-th support block 22 located above it is in the waiting position, and several support blocks 22 above the (i + 1)-th support block 22 are in the avoidance position, where i ≥ 1. In this way, it can be ensured that the next steel strip 200 can be stored on the (i + 1)-th support block 22, and finally the steel strip 200 is stored layer by layer from bottom to top.

[0055] The middle of each support block 22 is rotatably installed on the bracket 21 through a rotating shaft 23. The first end of the support block 22 close to the center of the storage mechanism is the support end 221, and the second end of the support block 22 close to the edge of the storage mechanism is the linkage end 222.

[0056] When the support end 221 of the support block 22 rotates out of the bracket 21 to switch to the waiting position, the steel strip 200 can be moved and placed on the support end 221 of the support block 22. As Figure 7 shown, from bottom to top, the second support block 22 is in the waiting position. At this time, the steel strip 200 can be stored on this support block 22.

[0057] When the steel strip 200 contacts the support block 22 in the waiting position and continues to move downward, the support end 221 of the support block 22 rotates downward to the horizontal under the pressure of the steel strip 200 to switch to the working position. As Figure 7 shown, the first support block 22 at the bottommost is in the working position.

[0058] Specifically, during the process that the support end 221 of the i-th support block 22 rotates downward to the horizontal under the pressure of the steel strip 200, the linkage end 222 of the i-th support block 22 pushes up the linkage end 222 of the (i + 1)-th support block 22 to make the (i + 1)-th support block 22 switch to the waiting position.

[0059] For example, Figure 7As shown, after the first steel strip 200 is deposited on the support end 221 of the first support block 22, the support end 221 of the first support block 22 rotates downward to a horizontal position under the pressure of the steel strip 200. At the same time, the linkage end 222 of the first support block 22 pushes the linkage end 222 of the second support block 22 upward, causing the second support block 22 to switch to the waiting position. Subsequently, the second steel strip 200 to be deposited can be deposited on the support end 221 of the second support block 22.

[0060] It can be seen that by configuring the support blocks 22, during the process of placing the steel strips layer by layer from bottom to top, when the steel strip 200 to be stored is placed on the support end of the i-th support block 22 in the waiting position, the i-th support block can drive the i+1-th support block 22 above it to move in a coordinated manner, causing the i+1-th support block 22 to switch from the avoidance position to the waiting position. In this way, the next steel strip 200 can be placed on the support end of the i+1-th support block 22, and ultimately, a steel strip 200 is stored on each layer of support blocks 22 at the same height.

[0061] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, optionally, the support assembly 22 further includes a plurality of first limiting posts 24 and a second limiting post 25, wherein: the plurality of first limiting posts 24 are equidistantly arranged on the bracket 21 along the vertical direction, the first limiting posts 24 correspond one-to-one to the support blocks 22, the first limiting posts 24 are located below the corresponding support blocks 22 and close to the center of the mounting frame 21, and when the support blocks 22 are in the working position, the support ends 221 of the support blocks 22 abut against the corresponding first limiting posts 24. The second limiting posts 25 are located below the bottommost support block 22 and close to the edge of the mounting frame 21, and when no steel strip is stored on the bottommost support block 22, the bottom of the bottommost support block 22 abuts against the second limiting posts 25, so that the bottommost support block 22 is in the waiting position.

[0062] By setting a first limiting column 24, after the steel belt 200 is placed on the supporting end 221 of the corresponding support block 22, the supporting end of the support block 22 is rotated to a horizontal position and rests on the first limiting column 24, thereby implementing a rotation limit on the supporting end 221 of the support block 22 to prevent the supporting end 221 of the support block 22 from excessive rotation, causing the steel belt 200 to fall.

[0063] Because there is no support block 22 below the bottommost support block 22 to drive it to the waiting position, the bottommost support block 22 must be in the waiting position when no steel strip is stored in order to store the first steel strip. By providing the second limiting column 25, the bottommost support block 22 is placed in the waiting position when no steel strip is stored.

[0064] Optionally, the center of gravity of the support block 22 is close to the linkage end 222. When the (i+1)th support block 22 is in the waiting position, the support blocks 22 above the (i+1)th support block 22 are all in the avoidance position under the action of their own gravity. This ensures that the next steel strip 200 can smoothly pass through the support blocks 22 above the (i+1)th support block 22 and be deposited on the (i+1)th support block 22.

[0065] Optionally, a roller 26 is provided at the bottom of the linkage end 222 of the mth support block 22 (i.e., the support blocks 22 mentioned above except for the bottommost support block 22), and a clearance groove is provided on the upper surface of the linkage end 222 of each support block 22. The roller 26 of the support block 22 in the waiting position or the avoidance position is located within the clearance groove of the support block 22 below. The roller 26 of the support block 22 in the working position is located outside the clearance groove of the support block 22 below.

[0066] For example Figure 7 As shown, from bottom to top, the roller 26 of the second support block 22 in the waiting position is located in the yield groove of the first support block 22 in the working position. The roller 26 of the third support block 22 in the avoidance position is located in the yield groove of the second support block 22. The roller 26 of the fourth support block 22 in the avoidance position is located in the yield groove of the third support block 22. The roller 26 of the fifth support block 22 in the avoidance position is located in the yield groove of the fourth support block 22.

[0067] By providing the roller 26 and the matching clearance groove, it can be achieved that when the i-th support block 22 below rotates, the i+1-th support block 22 above it can be linked more smoothly to prevent jamming between the two.
