Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of batteries, and in particular to an interception device and battery production equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, new energy companies are also developing rapidly. Intelligentization has become a reality, which has also led to a sharp increase in market demand for batteries. To meet market demand, many battery manufacturers have switched from semi-automated production to fully automated production, improving battery production efficiency.

[0003] During the production of cylindrical steel-cased batteries, a robot first transfers the battery cells from the feed conveyor belt to the loading jig on the casing conveyor belt. The casing conveyor belt then transports the loaded battery cells to the steel casing injection device for casing. In other words, the robot needs to pause the movement of the casing conveyor belt during the battery cell transfer process, so that the loading jig placed vertically relative to the ground stops in the loading area below the robot, and then the battery cells are loaded into the loading jig to achieve automated battery cell loading. However, during the mass production of batteries, the loading jig on the casing conveyor belt is also transported in batches and continuously. When the casing conveyor belt is paused, the loading jig will continue to move forward due to inertia, causing the loading jig to deviate from the loading area and even fall onto the casing conveyor belt, making it impossible for the robot to accurately load the battery cells into the loading jig. This results in poor accuracy in battery cell loading, affecting battery production efficiency. Utility Model Content

The terms used herein in the specification of this disclosure are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this disclosure. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0028] The present disclosure provides an interception device, which is installed on a shell loading conveyor belt. The interception device includes a support frame and an interception assembly. The support frame is installed on one side of the shell loading conveyor belt, and the support frame is formed with a rotation groove. The interception assembly includes a driving member and an interception turntable. The driving member is fixed to the bottom of the support frame, and the power output end of the driving member is located in the rotation groove. The interception turntable is fixed to the power output end of the driving member. The outer periphery of the interception turntable is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart concave limiting grooves, and the concave limiting grooves are used to movably engage with the loading jig on the shell loading conveyor belt, so that the loading jig stays on the loading area of the shell loading conveyor belt.

[0029] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to better understand the interception device 10 of the present disclosure, the interception device 10 is further explained below:

[0030] An interception device 10 according to one embodiment is installed on a shell loading conveyor belt (not shown). The interception device 10 includes a support frame 100 and an interception assembly 200. The support frame 100 is installed on one side of the shell loading conveyor belt and is formed with a rotation groove 102. The interception assembly 200 includes a drive member 210 and an interception turntable 220. The drive member 210 is fixed to the bottom of the support frame 100, and the power output end of the drive member 210 is located in the rotation groove 102. The interception turntable 220 is fixed to the power output end of the drive member 210. The outer periphery of the interception turntable 220 is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart concave limiting grooves 2202. The concave limiting grooves 2202 are used to movably engage with a loading jig (not shown) on the shell loading conveyor belt, so that the loading jig remains on the loading area of the shell loading conveyor belt.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the power output end of the driving member 210 rotates, it drives the intercepting turntable 220 to rotate in the rotating groove 102, so that the loading jig on the shelling conveyor belt is limited and connected in the concave limit groove 2202; when the loading jig on the shelling conveyor belt is limited and connected in the concave limit groove 2202, the power output end of the driving member 210 stops rotating, so that the loading jig limited and connected in the concave limit groove 2202 stops in the loading area, so that the loading jig can be prevented from deviating from the loading area or falling onto the shelling conveyor belt, thereby improving the accuracy of battery cell loading and effectively improving the production efficiency of the battery.

[0032] It should be noted that the concave limit slots 2202 prevent the loading jig from continuing to move forward due to inertia. When the power output end of the control driver 210 stops rotating, there is no need to stop the shell loading conveyor, allowing it to continue running. The next loading jig will also be pre-positioned and engaged in another concave limit slot 2202. This allows for batch loading of battery cells, effectively improving cell loading accuracy and battery production efficiency.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the outer periphery of the intercepting turntable 220 is formed with a plurality of blocking protrusions 2210, and two adjacent blocking protrusions 2210 are formed with the concave limiting grooves 2202. It can be understood that the blocking protrusions 2210 can limit the position of the device jig, so that when the corresponding concave limiting groove 2202 is rotated to the loading area, the loading jig can be limited in the concave limiting groove 2202, thereby preventing the loading jig from deviating from the loading area and improving the accuracy of battery cell loading.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a concave arc surface 2220 is provided between two adjacent enclosing protrusions 2210. It is understood that the loading jig is cylindrical, and in order to adapt to the loading jig, a concave arc surface 2220 is provided between two adjacent enclosing protrusions 2210. In other words, the inner wall of the concave limiting groove 2202 is a curved surface, which can better limit the loading jig.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the driving member 210 includes a driving motor body 2110 and a rotating output shaft 2120. The driving motor body 2110 is mounted on the bottom surface of the support frame 100, facing away from the rotating groove 102. One end of the rotating output shaft 2120 is fixed to the output end of the driving motor body 2110. The other end of the rotating output shaft 2120 passes through the bottom of the support frame 100 and is located in the rotating groove 102. The intercepting turntable 220 is fixed to the other end of the rotating output shaft 2120. It can be understood that by controlling the output of the driving motor body 2110 to drive the rotating output shaft 2120 to rotate, the intercepting turntable 220 is driven to rotate, so that the loading jig, which is limited and engaged in the concave limiting groove 2202, can be accurately stopped on the loading area of the shell loading conveyor belt. At the same time, a plurality of concave limiting grooves 2202 are formed on the intercepting turntable 220 to adapt to the needs of batch battery cell loading, improve battery cell loading accuracy and improve battery production efficiency.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a mounting hole 2204 is formed in the central area of the intercepting turntable 220, and the other end of the rotation output shaft 2120 is inserted into the mounting hole 2204, so that the other end of the rotation output shaft 2120 is fixedly connected to the intercepting turntable 220. It can be understood that the central area of the intercepting turntable 220 is fixedly connected to the rotation output shaft 2120.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the driving member 210 further includes a first rotating bearing member 2130 and a second rotating bearing member 2140. The first rotating bearing member 2130 is mounted on a bottom surface of the support frame 100 facing away from the rotating groove 102, and the first rotating bearing member 2130 is mounted on a bottom surface of the support frame 100 adjacent to the rotating groove 102. The rotating output shaft 2120 is respectively disposed through the first rotating bearing member 2130 and the second rotating bearing member 2140, and the rotating output shaft 2120 is respectively rotatably connected to the first rotating bearing member 2130 and the second rotating bearing member 2140. It is understood that the provision of the first rotating bearing member 2130 and the second rotating bearing member 2140 is intended to improve the rotational stability of the rotating output shaft 2120, thereby improving the rotational stability of the intercepting turntable 220.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the interception device 10 further includes an infrared sensor 300, the light-emitting end of which is disposed toward the loading area, and the infrared sensor 300 is in communication with the drive motor body 2110. It will be appreciated that when infrared light from the infrared sensor irradiates the loading jig, a stop signal is sent to the drive member 210 to stop rotation, allowing the loading jig to be precisely positioned within the loading area, thereby improving the accuracy of battery cell loading.

[0039] like Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the interception component 200 also includes a mounting bracket 230, a U-shaped electromagnetic switch lock 240 and a limiting iron ring piece 250, the mounting bracket 230 is fixed on the bottom side of the support frame 100 away from the rotating groove 102, the U-shaped electromagnetic switch lock 240 is installed on the mounting bracket 230, the U-shaped electromagnetic switch lock 240 is communicated with the infrared sensing component 300, the U-shaped electromagnetic switch lock 240 is provided with an avoidance groove 2402, the limiting iron ring piece 250 is sleeved on the rotating output shaft 2120, and the outer periphery of the limiting iron ring piece 250 is formed with a plurality of spaced limiting protrusions 2510, and each of the limiting protrusions 2510 is movably passed through the avoidance groove 2402. It is understandable that the infrared sensing component 300 will also send a stop signal to the U-shaped electromagnetic switch lock 240. When the U-shaped electromagnetic switch lock 240 receives the stop signal, it will be energized to generate magnetic force to adsorb the limiting protrusion 2510 in the avoidance groove 2402, so that the limiting iron ring piece 250 locks the rotating output shaft 2120, avoiding the rotating output shaft 2120 from continuing to rotate due to inertia when it stops rotating, ensuring that the loading jig can stay accurately in the loading area, further improving the accuracy of battery cell loading.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the interception device 10 further includes a control assembly, which is respectively in communication with the drive motor body 2110, the infrared sensor 300, and the U-shaped electromagnetic switch lock 240. It can be appreciated that the automated cell loading achieved through the control assembly greatly improves the accuracy of cell loading and further enhances battery production efficiency.

[0041] It should be noted that the interception device disclosed in the present invention only protects the electrical connection relationship between each component and the control assembly. As for the control method of the control assembly, it belongs to the existing technology and is not within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] The present disclosure also provides a battery production device, comprising the interception device described in any of the above embodiments.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the power output end of the driving member rotates, it drives the intercepting turntable to rotate in the rotating groove, so that the loading jig on the shelling conveyor belt is limited and connected in the concave limit groove; when the loading jig on the shelling conveyor belt is limited and connected in the concave limit groove, the power output end of the driving member stops rotating, so that the loading jig limited and connected in the concave limit groove stops in the loading area, so that the loading jig can be prevented from deviating from the loading area or falling onto the shelling conveyor belt, thereby improving the accuracy of battery cell loading, and thus effectively improving the production efficiency of battery production equipment.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0045] When the power output end of the driving member rotates, it drives the intercepting turntable to rotate in the rotating groove, so that the loading jig on the shelling conveyor belt is limited and connected to the concave limit groove; when the loading jig on the shelling conveyor belt is limited and connected to the concave limit groove, the power output end of the driving member stops rotating, so that the loading jig limited and connected to the concave limit groove stops in the loading area. This can prevent the loading jig from deviating from the loading area or falling on the shelling conveyor belt, improve the accuracy of battery cell loading, and thus effectively improve the production efficiency of the battery. The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present disclosure. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the disclosed patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present disclosure, and these all fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent disclosed in this disclosure should be based on the attached claims.
