Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of battery assembly production equipment, and particularly relates to a turnover conveying device. Background Art
[0002] During the production of solar cell modules, flipping the cell is a very important step and a common workstation. For example, when a cell needs to be double-sided coated, the double-sided coating process generally requires the cell to enter the first coating equipment with the front side facing up for front coating, then flip it to face the back side up, and then enter the second coating equipment for back coating. Therefore, flipping the cell is essential in this process.
[0003] Existing cell flipping mechanisms require a transition shaft in the middle to allow the two flipping discs to rotate synchronously to flip the cells. However, this design with a transition shaft results in the cell conveyor belt being split by the shaft, resulting in a two-stage conveyor belt, which wastes space and costs. For example, patent CN117080153A discloses an automated flipping mechanism for photovoltaic cells. This mechanism connects the flipping discs on both sides via a drive shaft, resulting in separate front and rear conveyor belts. This requires additional wheels, shafts, and motors to drive each, wasting installation space and equipment costs. Utility Model Content

[0018] Two synchronous belts, respectively used to connect the first synchronous pulley and the third synchronous pulley located on the same side; and

[0041] In this embodiment, it is understood that the integrated conveyor belt 1 is continuous at least from the front to the rear of the reversing tray 3 along the direction of cell transport. In other words, the integrated conveyor belt 1 continuously passes through the space 100 formed between the two reversing trays 3. The integrated conveyor belt 1 reduces the space occupied by other components, such as rollers and columns, that are required for a two-stage, split conveyor belt, thereby saving costs. The drive mechanism is located outside of the space 100 so as not to interfere with the integrated conveyor belt.
[0042] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 As a preferred embodiment of the driving mechanism, the driving mechanism includes two first drivers 5 corresponding to the flip disks 3, each of which is used to drive the corresponding flip disk 3 to rotate.
[0043] In this embodiment, the two flip disks 3 are driven by independent first drivers 5 respectively. The two first drivers 5 can keep rotating synchronously, thereby ensuring the synchronous rotation of the two flip disks 3. The first driver 5 can be, but is not limited to, a servo motor.
[0044] In this embodiment, the two flip discs 3 are respectively ensured to rotate synchronously through corresponding first drivers 5. The first driver 5 can be installed on the outside of the column 21, so that there is no other component in the space 100 between the two flip discs 3, and the integrated conveyor belt 1 can be passed through it.
[0045] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 As another preferred embodiment of the driving mechanism, the driving mechanism includes a second driver 41 and a synchronous belt assembly 42; the second driver 41 drives the two flip disks 3 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt assembly 42.
[0046] In this embodiment, the two flip discs 3 are driven to rotate synchronously by a synchronous belt assembly 42. The synchronous belt assembly 42 can be set in an area outside the space 100, so that the space 100 between the two flip discs 3 has no other components, and the integrated conveyor belt 1 can be passed through it.

[0048] Furthermore, the synchronous belt assembly 42 includes: a synchronous shaft 421, which is arranged below the integrated conveyor belt 1, and the two ends of the synchronous shaft 421 are respectively passed through the corresponding columns 21 and rotated with the columns 21, and a second synchronous wheel 422 is fixedly provided in the middle of the synchronous shaft 421; two third synchronous wheels 423 are respectively fixed on the ends of the synchronous shaft 421 passing through the column 21; two synchronous belts 424 are respectively used to connect the first synchronous wheel 212 and the third synchronous wheel 423 located on the same side; and a transmission belt 425 is used to connect the second driver 41 and the second synchronous wheel 422.
[0049] In this embodiment, the second driver 41 drives the synchronous shaft 421 to rotate through the transmission belt 425, and the synchronous shaft 421 drives two synchronous belts 424 through the third synchronous wheels 423 at both ends, thereby driving the two rotating shafts 211 to rotate, thereby driving the two flip disks 3 to rotate synchronously.
[0050] In this embodiment, the synchronous belt 424 is located outside the column, and the synchronous shaft 421 is located below the flip disk 3, so that there is no other component in the space 100 between the two flip disks 3, which will not interfere with the integrated conveyor belt 1.
[0051] See also Figure 4 Optionally, the second driver 41 is arranged on the bottom plate of the bracket 2; the second driver 41 can be but is not limited to a servo motor.
[0052] See also Figure 6 In this embodiment, as an optional implementation of the flip plate 3 , the outer circumferential array of the flip plate 3 has multiple accommodating notches 31 for accommodating the battery cells 200 .
[0053] In this embodiment, preferably, the number of the accommodating notches 31 may be even, and may be arranged in a circular array around the axis of the flip disk 3 ; the extending direction of the accommodating notches 31 may be along the radial direction of the flip disk 3 .
[0054] Furthermore, the accommodating notch 31 divides the flip plate 3 into a plurality of sector-shaped portions 32 ; chamfers 321 are provided at both ends of the outer periphery of the sector-shaped portions 32 .
[0055] In this embodiment, the chamfer 321 can expand the opening of the receiving notch 31 , thereby facilitating the successful entry of the battery cell 200 into the receiving notch 31 .
[0056] Furthermore, a buffer block 33 is provided at the bottom of the receiving notch 31 to provide buffering for the battery cell 200 after it enters the receiving notch 31 .
