[0002] Lithium batteries are batteries that use lithium metal or lithium compounds as the positive electrode material. They are widely used in various electronic devices, power tools, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and low self-discharge rate.

[0003] During the design and construction of lithium battery production plants, the issue of conveyor line rotation was considered. Existing conveyor rotation solutions rely on industrial robots. These robots perform palletizing operations, rotating the lithium batteries on the grasping conveyor during the gripping process. After rotation, the batteries are placed on the discharge conveyor, achieving directional rotation. This solution requires the use of industrial robots and related equipment, occupying a significant amount of plant space. Furthermore, each production line requires regular downtime for maintenance, resulting in high production and maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in one embodiment, a rotating conveying mechanism suitable for lithium batteries includes:

[0031] The support frame 1 has a rotating mechanism 2 at its upper end, detection and limiting mechanisms 3 at both sides of the rotating mechanism 2, and a driving mechanism 4 inside the support frame 1; a conveying mechanism 5 is connected above the rotating mechanism 2.

[0032] The conveying mechanism 5 is driven to rotate back and forth by the rotating mechanism 2 . When the conveying mechanism 5 rotates, the detection limit mechanism 3 detects whether the conveying mechanism 5 has rotated into position, thereby monitoring the rotation process.

[0033] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 2 includes a rotating bearing 21 and a transmission device 22. The transmission device 22 is arranged inside the support frame 1 and includes a gear 221 and a rack 222.

[0034] Furthermore, the gear 221 is connected to the upper rotary bearing 21 through the transmission shaft 223, and meshes with the rack 222 on one side to form a gear 221 rack 222 transmission device 22. When the rack 222 moves back and forth, the drive gear 221 rotates, thereby driving the rotary bearing 21 and the upper conveying mechanism 5 to rotate back and forth.

[0035] like Figures 1-6As shown, in this embodiment, the detection and limiting mechanism 3 includes multiple sets of limiting devices 31 and multiple sets of sensors 32. The limiting devices 31 include a buffer 311 and a stop bolt 312. The limiting devices 31 are fixed to the front and side of the rotating bearing 21 via a fixing platform 313, forming a 90° angle with the rotating bearing 21. In addition, the buffer 311 is arranged on one side of the rotating bearing 21, while the stop bolt 312 is arranged on the other side of the rotating bearing 21. The end of the buffer 311 extends longer than the end of the stop bolt 312. In this way, when the conveying mechanism 5 rotates, the buffer 311 can provide a flexible buffer. If a certain amount of rotational force still remains, the stop bolt 312 can provide a hard buffer to stop the conveying mechanism 5 from rotating.

[0036] Specifically, the buffer 311 adopts an oil pressure buffer 311, which can adjust the damping effect by adjusting the flow and pressure of the oil to adapt to the needs under different speeds and load conditions, and reduce the impact and vibration during the movement of the conveying mechanism 5; and the stop bolt 312 adopts a polyurethane stop bolt 312. The polyurethane material itself has a certain elasticity and softness, and can play a buffering role when the bolt end collides or impacts.

[0037] Furthermore, the sensor 32 is fixed to the outside of the limit device 31 through the fixing bracket 321, and the end direction of the sensor 32 is perpendicular to the fixing platform 313. After the sensor 32 detects that it is in place, it sends a signal to the driving mechanism 4, causing the rotating mechanism 2 to stop driving the conveying mechanism 5 to rotate.

[0038] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, a limit block 51 is provided at the bottom of the conveying mechanism 5. When the conveying mechanism 5 rotates, the limit block 51 limits the rotation angle. When the conveying mechanism 5 rotates, the limit block 51 first contacts the buffer 311 to compress it, and then contacts the stop bolt 312, stopping the rotation when the set angle is reached.

[0039] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the drive mechanism 4 includes a cylinder 41, which is connected to the rack 222 via a drive rod 42. In actual production, the cylinder 41 drives the drive rod 42 to extend and retract, driving the rack 222 to reciprocate, thereby driving the gear 221 to rotate.

[0040] Working principle: The cylinder 41 drives the gear 221 and the rack 222 transmission device 22, which in turn drives the rotary bearing 21 to rotate, thereby driving the upper conveying mechanism 5 to rotate. During the rotation process, the limit device 31 arranged around the rotary bearing 21 is used for limit protection; when the conveying mechanism 5 rotates, the limit block 51 at the bottom of the conveying mechanism 5 contacts the limit device 31, and the rotation process is monitored by the sensor 32.

[0041] Through the above technical solution, the overall transmission efficiency of this application is high, the structure is compact, the maintenance is convenient and the cost is low, and the design requirement of rotating to change the conveying direction can be achieved in a smaller factory space.

[0042] The above description of the disclosed embodiments will enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
