[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] See Figure 1-5 The utility model discloses a vertical battery conveying device 1, which includes a fixed component 11, two groups of transmission components 12, and two blocking components 13. The blocking component 13 is connected to the fixed component 11, and the transmission component 12 is connected to the fixed component 11. The blocking component 13 is installed at the starting end of the transmission direction of the transmission component 12, and one group of the transmission components 12 is installed with one blocking component 13.

[0040] Specifically, two groups of conveying components 12 are installed on the fixed component 11. The conveying component 12 can convey the loaded battery 2 from one end to the other end. The fixed component 11 can support the battery 2 on the conveying component 12. A group of conveying components 12 can only load one battery 2 at a time. The battery 2 is placed vertically on the conveying component 12 with the electrode facing upward. The blocking component 13 can temporarily block the battery 2 from being loaded along the conveying component 12. By controlling the blocking component 13 to intermittently block the battery 2 from being loaded along the conveying component 12, the battery 2 on the conveying component 12 can be conveyed at a certain distance.

[0041] It can be understood that the battery 2 is loaded onto the conveying component 12, and the blocking component 13 blocks the loading of the battery 2. After a predetermined period of time, the blocking component 13 stops blocking the battery 2 and allows one battery 2 to be loaded, so as to achieve the purpose of loading the battery 2 at intervals, so that the batteries 2 on the conveying component 12 are arranged at equal distances, avoiding the accumulation of the batteries 2 during the conveying process, and preventing the subsequent devices from being unable to accurately grasp the corresponding batteries 2 during subsequent production loading.

[0042] In addition, the device is provided with two groups of conveying components 12, and the two groups of conveying components 12 are simultaneously arranged on the fixed component 11, so that two batteries 2 can be loaded at the same time, thereby increasing the conveying capacity of the conveying device for the batteries 2 at the same time. A blocking component 13 is provided for each group of conveying components 12, so that both groups of conveying components 12 can realize intermittent loading. In addition, the interval length between the blocking batteries 2 of the blocking component 13 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, that is, the interval between the batteries 2 on the two groups of conveying components 12 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0043] The conveying assembly 12 includes a conveyor belt 121, a conveyor wheel 122, a drive motor 123, and a conveyor shaft 124. The conveyor shaft 124 is vertically mounted on the fixed assembly 11. The conveyor belt 121 is in driving connection with the conveyor wheel 122, and the conveyor wheel 122 rotates about the conveyor shaft 124. Specifically, the drive motor 123 provides driving force, which drives the conveyor shaft 124 to operate. The drive shaft and the drive wheel are coaxially driven, and the drive motor 123 can drive the transmission belt to operate. By adjusting the output speed of the drive motor 123, the speed at which the conveyor belt 121 conveys the batteries 2 can be adjusted accordingly.

[0044] As an embodiment, the conveying shafts 124 of the two groups of conveying components 12 are arranged as one body, and the conveying speeds of the conveyor belts 121 on the two groups of conveying components 12 are the same, so that the driving motors 123 on the conveying components 12 can be arranged in one group, that is, the two groups of conveyor belts 121 are driven to move by one group of driving motors 123, thereby reducing the number of mechanisms set up in the device and reducing the cost of the device.

[0045] The fixing assembly 11 includes a fixing frame 111, a reference plate 112, and two protective frames 113. The two protective frames 113 are connected to the fixing frame 111, the reference plate 112 is connected to the fixing frame 111, the protective frames 113 are arranged parallel to the reference plate 112, and the reference plate 112 is installed between the two protective frames 113.

[0046] Specifically, the conveyor assembly 12 is mounted on the fixed frame 111. The reference plate 112 separates the two groups of conveyor assemblies 12, separating the batteries 2 on the two groups of conveyor assemblies 12. This also prevents the upright batteries 2 from affecting the batteries 2 on the adjacent conveyor assembly 12 when they fall. The protective frame 113 provides support and restraint on both sides of the batteries 2, preventing the upright batteries 2 from falling off the sides of the conveyor belt 121. The batteries 2 are conveyed between the reference plate 112 and the protective frame 113 through their restraint. In particular, the distance between the reference plate 112 and the protective frame 113 is greater than the thickness of the batteries 2, which facilitates the conveyance of the batteries 2 while preventing the batteries 2 from falling and affecting the conveyance of the adjacent conveyor assembly 12.

[0047] The fixed frame 111 includes two longitudinal supports 1111 and multiple transverse supports 1112. The two longitudinal supports 1111 are arranged in parallel. Any one of the longitudinal supports 1111 is parallel to the conveyor belt 121. All the transverse supports 1112 are vertically installed on the longitudinal supports 1111 at equal distances. The reference plate 112 is installed on the transverse supports 1112.

[0048] Specifically, the longitudinal bracket 1111 is arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 121, and the transverse bracket 1112 is installed between the conveyor belts 121, that is, the transverse bracket 1112 is arranged through the conveyor belt 121. The transverse bracket 1112 can provide support for the battery 2. Since the conveyor belt 121 itself has a certain elasticity, the weight of the battery 2 can easily cause the conveyor belt 121 to deform, causing the middle part of the conveyor belt 121 to deform and distort. The support of the transverse bracket 1112 can increase the supporting force of the conveyor belt 121 on the battery 2, and play a protective role on the transmission belt.

[0049] In this embodiment, any one of the longitudinal brackets 1111 is at the same distance from the reference plate 112 , and the conveyor belt 121 is installed between the longitudinal bracket 1111 and the reference plate 112 so that the distance between the two ends of the conveyor belt 121 is the same.

[0050] In particular, the reference plate 112 is provided with a guide end at the starting end of the conveyor belt 121, so that when the battery 2 enters the conveyor belt 121, the reference plate 112 and the protective frame 113 can be constrained from two sides, so that the battery 2 can continue to maintain an upright state. In addition, when the upright battery 2 enters the guide end, if the battery 2 is skewed, the battery 2 can be subsequently adjusted to be parallel to the conveyor belt 121 through the guidance of the guide end, which is more conducive to the subsequent grasping mechanism to grasp the battery 2.

[0051] The fixing frame 111 includes an adjusting nut 1114 and a mounting frame 1113. The mounting frame 1113 is arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal bracket 1111. The mounting frame 1113 is provided with an opening 1115 and a screw hole 1116. The screw hole 1116 and the opening 1115 are arranged on adjacent surfaces. The screw hole 1116 is connected to the opening 1115, and the adjusting nut 1114 is installed on the screw hole 1116.

[0052] Specifically, the protective frame 113 is provided with an adjusting rod 1131, and the adjusting rod 1131 is inserted into the opening 1115. The mounting frame 1113 is used for the installation of the protective frame 113. The adjusting rod 1131 is arranged vertically with respect to the mounting frame 1113. By adjusting the position of the adjusting rod 1131, the protective frame 113 can be moved closer to or away from the reference plate 112, so that the distance between the protective frame 113 and the reference plate 112 can be adjusted. The adjusting rod 1131 is inserted into the opening 1115, and the adjusting nut 1114 is inserted into the screw hole 1116 to lock the adjusting rod 1131 in the opening 1115, so that the position of the adjusting rod 1131 inserted into the opening 1115 is fixed, thereby locking the distance between the protective frame 113 and the reference plate 112. It can be understood that by cooperating with the adjusting rod 1131 and the adjusting nut 1114, the distance between the protective frame 113 and the reference plate 112 can be adjusted, so that the protective frame 113 and the reference plate 112 can be closer to the side of the battery 2, which can prevent the battery 2 from tipping toward the reference plate 112 or the protective frame 113 during transportation, and allow the battery 2 to remain upright during transportation, which is conducive to the subsequent grasping mechanism.

[0053] The fixed frame 111 includes a support wheel 1117 and a support shaft 1118. The support shaft 1118 is equidistantly arranged on the longitudinal bracket 1111. The support shaft 1118 is parallel to the transverse bracket 1112. The two ends of the support shaft 1118 are respectively connected to the two longitudinal brackets 1111. The support wheel 1117 is rotatably connected to the support shaft 1118.

[0054] Specifically, both ends of the support shaft 1118 are respectively installed on two longitudinal brackets 1111, and the support wheel 1117 can rotate about the support shaft 1118. The surface of the support wheel 1117 contacts the inner surface of the conveyor belt 121. The support wheel 1117 is driven by the conveyor belt 121. The support wheel 1117 can support the battery 2 on the conveyor belt from the bottom. Multiple support wheels 1117 and the support shaft are equidistantly arranged on the longitudinal bracket 1111, which can increase the supporting force on the conveyor belt and extend the service life of the conveyor belt 121.

[0055] In particular, two supporting wheels 1117 are provided on the same supporting shaft 1118 to support two groups of conveying assemblies 12, thereby extending the service life of the device.

[0056] The blocking assembly 13 includes a blocking bracket 131, a blocking driver 132, and a blocking block 133. The blocking bracket 131 is connected to the longitudinal bracket 1111, the blocking driver 132 is connected to the blocking bracket 131, and the blocking block 133 is connected to the blocking driver 132. Specifically, the blocking bracket 131 is mounted on the fixed frame 111 and is located at the starting point of the conveyor belt 121. The blocking driver 132 is a driving cylinder, and the blocking block 133 is mounted on the telescopic rod of the driving cylinder. The driving cylinder pushes the blocking block 133 toward the side of the reference plate 112, so that the blocking block 133 appears in the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, thereby temporarily blocking the battery 2 from being conveyed along the conveying direction.

[0057] The device includes two detection members 14, which are connected to the fixing assembly 11 and are arranged near the blocking assembly 13. Each transmission assembly 12 is provided with a detection member 14. Specifically, the detection member 14 is used to detect whether the battery 2 is fed and to obtain the number of fed batteries 2. The detection member 14 can quickly drive the device to operate and pause the device operation when no battery 2 is fed, so that the device will only operate when the battery 2 is fed, avoiding long-term operation and extending the service life of the device. In addition, the number of batteries 2 that have been fed can be counted, which is more convenient for production needs.

[0058] Particularly, the detection member 14 is an infrared sensor.
