Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lithium battery production equipment, and in particular to an automatic packing device for battery packs. Background Art

[0002] Energy storage battery packs are typically stacked in individual storage units within a container for ease of transport and management. Due to the heavy weight of the battery packs, they are typically loaded sequentially into the container's storage units using automated packing equipment.

[0003] Current automatic packing equipment includes a transfer mechanism, a pushing mechanism, and a loading mechanism. During packing, the battery pack to be packed is transported to the material-retrieving position by the loading mechanism. The transfer mechanism first drives the pushing mechanism to move horizontally and vertically so that the pushing mechanism can pick up the battery pack to be packed at the material-retrieving position. The transfer mechanism then drives the pushing mechanism to move horizontally and vertically so that the battery pack to be packed picked up by the pushing mechanism can be moved to the corresponding storage unit. Finally, the pushing mechanism places the picked-up battery pack into the corresponding storage unit. Obviously, the moving path of the pushing mechanism of the existing automatic packing equipment is complex. As the storage unit gets farther and farther away from the material-retrieving position, the travel required for the transfer mechanism to move to the material-retrieving position to pick up the battery pack and then move to the corresponding storage unit will become longer and longer, resulting in low packing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve this goal, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] The driving end of the first transfer mechanism is connected to the pushing mechanism. The first transfer mechanism is configured to drive the pushing mechanism to move back and forth along a first horizontal direction to move the pushing mechanism to the outside of a corresponding storage unit. The first transfer mechanism is further configured to drive the pushing mechanism to rise and fall so that the pushing mechanism picks up the battery pack to be boxed and moves the battery pack picked up by the pushing mechanism to the outside of any storage position of the corresponding storage unit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0066] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0067] Energy storage battery packs are typically stacked in individual storage units within a container for ease of transport and management. Due to the heavy weight of the battery packs, they are typically loaded sequentially into the container's storage units using automated packing equipment.

[0068] Current automatic packing equipment includes a transfer mechanism, a pushing mechanism, and a loading mechanism. During packing, the battery pack to be packed is transported to the material-retrieving position by the loading mechanism. The transfer mechanism first drives the pushing mechanism to move horizontally and vertically so that the pushing mechanism can pick up the battery pack to be packed at the material-retrieving position. The transfer mechanism then drives the pushing mechanism to move horizontally and vertically so that the battery pack to be packed picked up by the pushing mechanism can be moved to the corresponding storage unit. Finally, the pushing mechanism places the picked-up battery pack into the corresponding storage unit. Obviously, the moving path of the pushing mechanism of the existing automatic packing equipment is complex. As the storage unit gets farther and farther away from the material-retrieving position, the travel required for the transfer mechanism to move to the material-retrieving position to pick up the battery pack and then move to the corresponding storage unit will become longer and longer, resulting in low packing efficiency.

[0069] Therefore, this application provides a battery pack automatic packaging equipment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the battery pack automatic packing equipment proposed in the embodiment of the present application is used to load the battery pack 10 to be packed into the container 11, and the container 11 is arranged along the first horizontal direction ( Figure 2In the X direction in the drawing, a plurality of storage units 12 are arranged side by side, and each storage unit 12 is provided with a plurality of storage locations for stacking battery packs 10. The automatic packing device for battery packs includes a receiving mechanism 20, a pushing mechanism 30 and a first transfer mechanism 40.

When the current storage unit 12 is packed, the pushing mechanism 30 only needs to be raised and lowered to pick up the battery pack 10 to be packed and move the picked battery pack 10 to the corresponding storage position for packing, which simplifies the moving path of the pushing mechanism 30, greatly reduces the moving stroke of the pushing mechanism 30 during packing, and improves the packing efficiency of the battery pack 10.

[0080] It can be seen that through the cooperation of the first driving member 32, the movable seat 330 and the supporting member 331, a supporting component 33 with both clamping and bearing functions is provided; by arranging several groups of load-bearing wheels 3311 on the supporting platform 3310, rolling contact between the supporting member 331 and the battery pack 10 is achieved, which greatly reduces the friction between the battery pack 10 and the supporting member 331 when the battery pack 10 is put into the box; through the cooperation of several groups of limiting rollers 3312 of the two sets of supporting components 33, clamping and limiting of the battery pack 10 are achieved, and at the same time, there is rolling contact between the limiting rollers 3312 and the battery pack 10, which reduces the friction on the battery pack 10 and facilitates pushing the battery pack 10 into the storage position of the container 11.
