Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of battery production equipment, and in particular to a large-volume battery pack boxing device. Background Art

[0002] To facilitate the transportation and centralized management of energy storage battery packs, they are stacked in containers. This is typically done using box loading equipment. Existing box loading equipment typically first uses a transfer mechanism to move a tool carrying the battery packs to an empty space in the container. Then, manual labor or a pusher mechanism pushes the battery packs inside the tooling into the empty space within the container. However, the tooling in existing battery pack loading equipment can only accommodate battery packs of one specification, and its low load capacity makes it unsuitable for loading large battery packs. This results in poor compatibility for existing battery pack loading equipment. Utility Model Content

[0006] The bearing mechanism includes a first driving member and two sets of bearing assemblies arranged in parallel. The two sets of bearing assemblies can be arranged on the base close to or away from each other along a first direction. The driving end of the first driving member is connected to the two sets of bearing assemblies or one of the bearing assemblies.

[0007] The first driving member is configured to drive the two sets of supporting assemblies away from each other in a first direction to allow the battery pack to enter the space between the two sets of supporting assemblies;

[0008] The first driving member is further configured to drive the two sets of carrying assemblies toward each other along a first direction, so as to carry and clamp the battery pack through the two sets of carrying assemblies;

After the first driving member drives the two sets of carrying assemblies closer to each other along the first direction, the battery pack is clamped and limited by the several groups of limiting rollers of the two sets of carrying assemblies.

[0015] The battery pack is clamped and limited by the cooperation of several groups of limiting rollers of the two sets of load-bearing components. At the same time, there is rolling contact between the limiting rollers and the battery pack, which reduces the friction on the battery pack and facilitates pushing the battery pack into the empty space of the container.

[0016] Optionally, several groups of limiting rollers are divided into two columns in the vertical direction. After the first driving member drives the two sets of supporting components to approach each other along the first direction, the limiting rollers in the upper first column abut against the upper end of the battery pack, and the limiting rollers in the lower second column abut against the lower end of the battery pack.

[0023] Optionally, each group of first rotating members includes two first rotating members, wherein:

[0024] The first sliding guide pair includes two first slide rails, which are mounted on the bottom of the bearing assembly along the second direction.

[0049] 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.

[0050] To facilitate the transportation and centralized management of energy storage battery packs, they are stacked in containers. This is typically done using box loading equipment. Existing box loading equipment typically first uses a transfer mechanism to move a tool carrying the battery packs to an empty space in the container. Then, manual labor or a pusher mechanism pushes the battery packs inside the tooling into the empty space within the container. However, the tooling in existing battery pack loading equipment can only accommodate battery packs of one specification, and its low load capacity makes it unsuitable for loading large battery packs. This results in poor compatibility for existing battery pack loading equipment.

[0051] Therefore, this application proposes a large-volume battery pack boxing device, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the large-volume battery pack boxing device proposed in the embodiment of the present application includes a base 10, a carrying mechanism 20 and a pushing mechanism 30, wherein: the carrying mechanism 20 includes a first driving member 21 and two sets of carrying components 22 arranged in parallel, and the two sets of carrying components 22 can be arranged in a first direction ( Figure 1 The first driving member 21 is configured to drive the two sets of carrier assemblies 22 away from each other along the first direction to allow the battery pack 40 to enter the space between the two sets of carrier assemblies 22; the first driving member 21 is further configured to drive the two sets of carrier assemblies 22 to move closer to each other along the first direction to carry and clamp the battery pack 40 through the two sets of carrier assemblies 22; the pushing mechanism 30 is configured to push the battery pack 40 carried and clamped by the carrier mechanism 20 along the second direction ( Figure 1 The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0052] It can be seen that the large-volume battery pack loading equipment proposed in this application realizes the loading and clamping of the battery pack 40 to be loaded into the box through the cooperation of the first driving member 21 and the two sets of carrying components 22, and realizes the automatic pushing of the battery pack 40 to be loaded into the box carried by the two sets of carrying components 22 into the empty space of the container through the pushing mechanism 30, thereby improving the packing efficiency of the battery pack; at the same time, the spacing between the two sets of carrying components 22 is adjustable, and can carry and clamp battery packs 40 of different specifications, with good compatibility; and the use of two sets of carrying components 22 to carry the battery pack 40 to be loaded into the box improves the carrying capacity of the carrying mechanism 20, and can automatically pack large-volume battery packs 40.

[0053] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, as an embodiment, the supporting assembly 22 includes a movable seat 220 and a supporting member 221, the movable seat 220 can be movably installed on the base 10 along the first direction, the driving end of the first driving member 21 is connected to the movable seats 220 of the two sets of supporting assemblies 22 or the movable seats 220 of any one set of supporting assemblies 22, the supporting member 221 is installed on the inner side of the movable seat 220 and extends along the second direction, and the supporting member 221 is configured to support the side of the battery pack 40 extending along the second direction; the supporting member 221 includes a supporting platform 2210 and several groups of rotatable load-bearing wheels 2211, the supporting platform 2210 is installed on the movable seat 220, and several groups of load-bearing wheels 2211 are installed on the supporting platform 2210 at intervals along the second direction, and several groups of load-bearing wheels 2211 are configured to support the side of the battery pack 40 extending along the second direction.

[0054] Specifically, a pneumatic latch 2212 is provided at the discharge end of the carrier 221, and the pneumatic latch 2212 is configured to limit the battery pack at the discharge end of the carrier 221 when the battery pack 40 is placed on the carrier mechanism 20, so as to prevent the battery pack 40 from accidentally slipping during the process of being placed on the carrier mechanism 20.

[0055] It can be seen that by cooperating with the first driving member 21, the movable seat 220 and the supporting member 221, a supporting component 22 with both clamping and supporting functions is provided; by arranging several groups of load-bearing wheels 2211 on the supporting platform 2210, rolling contact between the supporting member 221 and the battery pack 40 is achieved, which greatly reduces the friction between the battery pack 40 and the supporting member 221 when the battery pack 40 is placed in the box.

[0056] As an embodiment, the supporting assembly 22 also includes several groups of rotatable limiting rollers 222, and the several groups of limiting rollers 222 are installed on the supporting platform 2210 at intervals along the second direction. After the first driving member 21 drives the two sets of supporting assemblies 22 to approach each other along the first direction, the several groups of limiting rollers 222 of the two sets of supporting assemblies 22 cooperate to clamp and limit the battery pack 40.

[0057] It can be seen that through the cooperation of several groups of limiting rollers 222 of the two sets of supporting components 22, the clamping and limiting of the battery pack 40 are achieved. At the same time, there is rolling contact between the limiting rollers 222 and the battery pack 40, which reduces the friction on the battery pack 40 and facilitates pushing the battery pack 40 into the empty space of the container.

[0058] As an embodiment, several groups of limiting rollers 222 are divided into two columns in the vertical direction.

[0059] Specifically, the battery pack 40 includes a shell 400, a base 401 and a battery cell module. The shell 400 is installed on the base 401 to form a accommodating cavity. The battery cell module is encapsulated in the accommodating cavity. The periphery of the base 401 protrudes from the shell 400. The first row of limiting rollers 2220 abuts against the side of the shell 400 extending along the second direction, and the second row of limiting rollers 2221 abuts against the outer surface of the base 410.

[0060] It can be seen that by dividing several groups of limiting rollers 222 into two columns, the first column of limiting rollers 2220 located at the top abuts the upper end of the battery pack 40, and the second column of limiting rollers 2221 located at the bottom abuts the lower end of the battery pack 40, thereby improving the stability and reliability of clamping and limiting the battery pack 40.

[0061] As shown, as an embodiment, the carrying assembly 22 further includes an adjusting assembly 23, which is configured to drive the carrying assembly 22 to rotate relative to the base 10 to adjust the angle of the battery pack 40 carried and clamped by the carrying mechanism 20 toward the empty space of the container, so that the battery pack 40 is aligned with the empty space of the container.

[0062] It can be seen that by providing the adjustment component 23, the horizontal angle of the battery pack 40 is automatically adjusted, ensuring that the battery pack 40 is smoothly pushed into the empty space of the container.

The camera is used to photograph the empty space of the container and determine whether the battery pack 40 is aligned with the empty space of the container through image recognition. If the battery pack 40 is not aligned with the empty space of the container, the second driving members 230 of the two sets of supporting components 22 are controlled to work simultaneously to drive the two sets of supporting components 22 to rotate synchronously relative to the base 10, so that the battery packs on the two sets of supporting components 22 are aligned with the corresponding empty spaces on the container.

The pressure sensor 3110 is configured to detect the reaction force of the battery pack on the pushing piece 311 when the pushing piece 311 pushes the battery pack, so as to detect the thrust of the pushing piece 311.

[0083] The first driving member 21 includes two groups of cylinders, each group of cylinders includes two cylinders, the driving ends of the two cylinders of one group of cylinders are respectively connected to the first fixed parts 51 of the two groups of first rotating parts 50 of one set of supporting components 22, and the driving ends of the two cylinders of the other group of cylinders are respectively connected to the first fixed parts 51 of the two groups of first rotating parts 50 of the other set of supporting components 22. By setting up two groups of cylinders, the force exerted by the battery pack 40 on the supporting mechanism 20 can be buffered when the battery pack 40 rotates horizontally to avoid clamping the battery pack 40.

[0084] Of course, the first driving member 21 includes two groups of driving members, each group of driving members includes one driving member, and the driving ends of the two groups of driving members are respectively connected to the center positions of the two sets of bearing assemblies 22 to ensure the stability and balance of the thrust exerted on the bearing assemblies 22.

[0085] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the specific packing process of the large-volume battery pack boxing equipment proposed in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0086] In the initial state, the two sets of carrier assemblies 22 are in a material connection state, and the distance between the two sets of carrier assemblies 22 is greater than the width of the battery pack 40, that is, the two sets of carrier assemblies 22 are in a state where the battery pack 40 can enter between the two sets of carrier assemblies 22;

[0087] After the battery pack 40 enters between the two sets of carrier assemblies 22, the first driving member 21 drives the two sets of carrier assemblies 22 closer to each other to carry and clamp the battery pack 40 between the two sets of carrier assemblies 22;

[0088] The first detection member 2200 detects whether the battery pack 40 on the carrying mechanism 20 is aligned with the empty space of the container;

[0089] If the battery pack 40 is aligned with the empty space of the container, the pushing mechanism 30 pushes the battery pack 40 carried and clamped by the carrying mechanism 20 to move into the empty space of the container along the second direction;

[0090] If the battery pack 40 is not aligned with the empty space in the container, the second driving members 230 of the two sets of supporting assemblies 22 will work synchronously to drive the two sets of supporting assemblies 22 to rotate synchronously relative to the base 10, so that the battery packs 40 on the two sets of supporting assemblies 22 are aligned with the corresponding empty spaces on the container, and then the pushing mechanism 30 will push the battery pack 40 carried and clamped by the supporting mechanism 20 into the empty space in the container along the second direction.

[0091] The large-volume battery pack boxing equipment proposed in the embodiment of the present application has the following advantages:

[0092] 1) The battery packs can be automatically loaded into the container, which has high loading efficiency and saves manpower;

[0093] 2) It can carry and clamp battery packs of different specifications with good compatibility; the carrying capacity of the carrying mechanism is large, and it can automatically pack large battery packs;

[0094] 3) The overall structure of the regulating assembly is simple and compact, the design is ingenious, the operation is stable, and the manufacturing cost is low;

[0095] 4) The load-bearing platform and the limiting rollers are in rolling contact with the battery pack, which greatly reduces the friction on the battery pack, reduces the wear on the battery pack during packaging, and also facilitates the smooth placement of the battery pack;

[0096] 5) The propulsion mechanism has a pressure detection function to avoid damage to the material.

[0097] The above embodiments merely illustrate the basic principles and features of the present application. The present application is not limited by the above examples. Various changes and modifications may be made to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Such changes and modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the present application.
